Default rear end RPO

is there an RPO code that would tell me which rear i have? its an 89 rs, but i think they put several different rears in it. Ratios i mean, i know its not a "posi" or whatever they put in the z's.

89 RS with Auto Factory stock, almost 99 44/100 of them have a 2-series open rear & 2:73 gears. RPO GU2=2:73 ratio(auto) & GU4=3:08 ratio (5-sp) only ratios on the RS, G80 is for the Limited Slip that you don't have.
