There should be a metal tag on the diff cover which is secured by one of the bolts. It should be stamped on there!

If the tag is MIA or unreadable you will need to use your secondary shcool maths.
Turn the input shaft one complete turn and note how many time an output shaft turns.
Then comes the hard bit....divide one into the other....
