Strange 12 Bolt stampings Opinions?

[SuperNovaSS]

I have a 69 Camaro 12 bolt with some strange stampings. Originally I thought it was a very sloppy restamp, but after checking the codes I think it may be factory. The tube looks like it was stamped CBS originally which is 3:31 Posi. Then, BL is stamped over the BS. BL is 3.07 open. The axle has a 3.07 open carrier and ring/pinion in it. I could see someone restamping a BL to a BS but not vise versa. Any opinions?

Noone? I guess it really doesn't matter anyway since it will most likely make its way into a hot rod application. I just thought it was interesting.

I saw an overstamp on another axle recently. Not sure I've ever seen a grindout though.

Looks like it's 70 Nova axle with a 341 housing....

I'll try to post more pictures. I thought it was 69 Camaro since many of the other parts I got with it were Camaro and of course the code. There were some Nova parts as well.


Thanks,

Jason,
Is the axle housing 341 or 860?
The axles are exactly the same except for the extra C before the code and the housing #, so it does look just like a 69 axle.
It's discussed at http://www.camaros.org/drivetrain.shtml#RearAxleNumbers.
