I believe both output shafts should spin the same way if its an LSD. They will turn in opposite directions if the diff is open.
No idea on the wetbrake oil you want to use, but LSD oil isn't expensive.

Hold one output shaft and try to turn the other. If you can, it's not a (working) slipper.

Take the backplate off if your not sure, it could even be welded
