The Differential may have been changed at some point and be correct for the Speedometer.

It does indeed have the 3.07 ratio. I verified that when I did the axles. If I understand you correctly, then all the transmission drive gears are the same, regardless of the final drive ratio. I presume then, that the correction could be made at the odometer drive gears.
