ME diffs are definitely from a 2000.
To determine whether they are auto or manual, rotate the output shaft flange (driveshaft flange) one complete revolution, and count the number of turns of the input flange (propshaft flange). If it turns just over 4 complete turns it is a 4.11:1, and if it turns nearly 3 3/4 turns it is a 3.7:1 diff....
Something to mark the rotating flange will help to count the turns more accurately.
3.45 diffs which were fitted to all 2.5 /2500 models irrespective of age / gearbox type had red paint on the large nut in the centre of each output flange.
