Default 12 Bolt Ring and Pinion

I've come across a 12 Bolt Ring And Pinion with a tooth count of 42-13. Would this be a truck 3.23? Came from an Olds GMC dealer.
All I have of the part number is 83729. Numbers prior to are torn off.

Olds made some 12 bolts that were different/less desirable than Chevy 12 bolts the posi's looked like 8.5's with a S shaped spring. with that said this may be what they are for, just putting this out there

Olds had 12 bolt rears but had 10 bolt ring gears installed.

then I'd compare the pinion to a car 12 bolt, the truck pinion is thinner and weaker and a 8.5 10 bolt is larger-use same bearings as car 12 bolt so truck 10 bolts are weaker than the car 12 bolts and 8.5 10 bolts
