Good to know, how did you tell them apart? Actual axle tag or?Long story short, to tell them apart, the rare 31 spline Ranger axle is the same diameter as an Explorer axle and a larger diameter than a Ranger axle.
None of the 3 axles I have seen has had any sort of tag on them to say what it was. I look for trucks that had the axle stock and then measure the axle with a wire that has sharpie marks on it. If the marks line up, the axle is a 31 spline (Explorer axle or the rare Ranger one) and if not, it is a 28 spline Ranger axle. I can't remember the diameter of the 31 spline axles so I will have to make another post when I open my documents, but to tell if it is a Ranger axle or an explorer one, the Ranger axles are I believe an inch and a half shorter from end to end (wheel stud to wheel stud)
The Torsen is very similar to The Turetrac but has better reviews.
To know if the Torsen is still in there, you have to remove the diff cover, it looks like this:
