Lsd
Is there a way to find out which limited slip diff is in the rear axle WITHOUT taking off the cover and poking around? The build sheet says"DSA Anti-Spin Differential Rear Axle" maybe it is labeled different dependent on the LSD. Wanting to change the gear oil but don't want to do so until I know if the LSD is clutch based or geared so I can put the additive if it's clutch. They might be the same on all the Daks but I don't know.

Use Valvoline Synthetic gear oil. It is suitable for both. I have been using it for over twenty years in various vehicles with no problems.

corporate rear is like a true posi, so when you lay into it off the line, both tires should spin, not that one legger you see everyone else do

I think the only way to tell is the build sheet.
I have the build sheet code below, and it's a one tire spin wonder.

For the locking two tire spin out, you need to see the code below on the build sheet, which you have.
