Question about rear I just bought. Posi or not?

Hi, I just picked up a rear. Disc brakes, supposed to be from an IROC. How do I verify it is posi???

This was the only identification on the housing:

GM N
22522676



Is there anyway for sure to tell if it is posi or not? I know its supposed to be from an IROC but it could not be.
thanks

just spin one tire (or hub if theres no tires mounted). If the other side spins the same direction it's posi, if not, it's an open rear.

BTW- where did you find it? i've been trying to get my hands on a posi for a while now but haven't been able to find anything.

I just recently sold my posi 3.27 9 bolt disc rear for $250.
Now I got myself a posi 3.42 disc rear from a 95 Formula.

SLP sells posi's for $99.
