Default Question about my diff?

Hey everyone I have a 1989 corvette and I was just messing around and cleaning the undercarriage and I found this green sticker that says inspected and OK on it? does this mean it was rebuilt at 1 point or changed and its also has a red tag hanging on the fill up bolt that says limited slip lube only? You can kind of see it in the picture

I'd guess that the differential may have been replaced with a used part. The limited slip lube tag is normal.

I see black RTV or is it something else? GM RTV is orange. Few things; modified to a higher set of gears, fixed, aftermarket piece ?

Your profile is empty, looks like a Dana 36.

Maybe the "OK" sticker is also trash that flew and stuck.
