If you turn one axle flange in one direction, and the other side turn in the opposite direction, it is an open differential, so then it is a 3.5X MT ratio. You could try to rotate the axle flange and count the driveshaft rotation as a proportion to attempt to determine whether it a 3.3X 5AT or 3.5X MT, but not likely, so I would drain the fluid, pull the cover and count the ring gear teeth. You will have to look up the count, I can't remember, but the 3.3 has more teeth than the 3.5, and the pinion tooth count is different too, but you cannot really see it behind the diff. I will try to get the toothcount sheet I have at home if you don't find it. Also, some/all ? auto G35s had a different ratio than the auto Z, too, you will have to research.

that would be too easy. instead we got a picture of a rear differential and we have to play guess what it is

Pull the cover off and count the ring gear teeth, it will take all of five minutes. I will count teeth on my old 3.3 after work. I am pretty sure I have a spec sheet that had the 3.3, 3.5 and 4.08 ring and pinion toothcounts, but have to dig...

and no, that is a rear differential. the VLSD is the parts inside of it.
