The T56 is essentially the same internally with the exception of tailshaft housing (8 fasteners compared to 5 on C5's) and the diff has same size ring and pinion gears as the C5. The better case and mounting points does give more strength compared to C5 diff.

This is the picture I posted many years ago showing TR6060 and T56 side by side. Only the 2008 to 2013 have the TR6060's.
