Default rear differetial?

I was wondering if I had limited slip differential. So I checked it by turning the wheels. The tires started to spin in opposite directions then stopped so only on tire was spinning. Is that normal?
Everything I read about checking differentials limited slip spins the same direction and open spins in opposite. Is there something wrong with mine?

I don't know if I have limited slip. I couldn't find anything on the sticker in the glove box. So I decided to raise rear end and check.

It doesn't say anything about limited slip. My biggest question is why the wheels started to spin in opposite direction the stopped so only one wheel was spinning?

I can't figure out how to post the build sheet. It says 3.55 gear ratio, Corporate 9.25 LD rear axle. It doesn't say anything on the sheet about limited slip.
Nothing was touching the other wheel. They were both off the ground.

you have a 9.25" ring gear , 3.55 gear ratio and the "LD" stands for light duty. it is NOT a limited slip.

I kinda figured it wasn't limited. My biggest concern is why does the wheels start to turn in opposite directions then stop. Everything I've read and the videos I've watched they keep turning in opposite directions.
