Default is this an lsd? (pics)

this is my first time doing anything with a diff, and i cant tell by looking at it if this is an lsd. can anyone help me out? i spun the back where the driveshaft is and both sides turned, and i also tried to stop both sides while i was turning the driveshaft and they didnt stop.

looks open to me. try rotating one of the side pinions, where the axle bolts up, and if the other side spins the opposite way, most likely open.

Your differential is open. You can see the center openness. A LSD has something there such as gears in this Torsen LSD.
