Default Rear end gear?

Sorry if this has been asked before, I just don't know how to read the label lol, I have a 98 automatic c5 and In having trouble finding out the rear end gear, i looked underneath the rear end and saw nothing. I looked in my rear left trunk compartment and found this label and I do not know how to read the list. If some one can help that would be greatly appreciated

GU2 code is a 2.73 axle.

If the decal said either G90 or G92, you would have the 3.15 gears.

Your axle RPO is the "GU2" which is the 2.73 ratio.
