I have continued to think about the differential. I am really hoping I don’t have to take it out and rebuild it as the list of things to do just gets longer and longer!
There is a video of the internals here:

For some reason there is no sound though! My plan is to fill the differential with some paraffin, put the inspection plate back on and keep turning the wheels to try and clean up as much of the gum as I can, then refill with fresh gear oil and cross my fingers!
The oil has a very acrid, almost burnt smell to it, but no metal fragments in it.
I have not been able to find the stamps on the diff housing but the inspection plate is stamped. I assume this means 44 teeth on the crown wheel and 9 on the pinion?
