Yes it's an 8 3/4". It will have a number cast into that lower rib ending in 741,742 or 489, that's important if you are going to rebuild it as gears and bearings don't interchange. You can of course fit any complete diff to that axle. What's actually broken?

it looks like the pin holding the plannet gears has sheared, possibly a complete diff will be the way to go as it all looks a bit chewed up.

You might find an open 741 at sensible money but either of the others are not so easy to find or cheap especially if they have a sure grip.
