What is the rear differential ratio for a 1987 300SDL?

Found a wrecked car in a junkyard but the diff tag on the back of the cover is missing and I want to know what it is before I open the thing up and go looking inside for the ring gear and spinning it until it shows up there where it is stamped on

Hit it with some degreaser or brake cleaner or a toothbrush........It "better" be there.
