It looks like you are seeking a 3:45 set, correct?
You may have better luck seeking an intact differential. Most folks here don't disassemble differentials out of concern for our ability to properly reassemble them.

It's all about your current differential type - early vs. later.
Eearly have 8 bolts crown gear & later have 10 bolts crown gear
W&N have the early one;
You can check it by that bolt on the half shaft mount - early side-loader have that additional bolt, later doesn't.
Main mechanical parts - early vs. later are not interchangeable, even the case itself is slightly different.

Only because 3.45 was standard on 2800

No, because the WN crown gear has "M10 holes" for earlier 2800 models.
The 3.0 models use M12 crown gear bolts.
This Jon, turned out to be the correct answer as I can confirm and experienced first hand. We used the earlier M10 crown gear in our later differential using larger bolts. Both had eight bolts.
We have now setup a smooth and quiet final drive as road tested, very pleased to have found the parts.
How did you use "larger bolts" with the M10 crown gear?
Did you re-tap the M10 crown gear for M12 bolts?
