Default '53 Customline - Diff Gear Swap

I have a Ford style differential that was equipped with a 39/10 gear set. (3.9:1)

I am attempting to fit a later gear set that is 29/9 (3.22:1 ) to this early housing. I have discovered it does not fit and requires some relieving to get it to fit.

Clearly, there are different castings for these differentials.

Has anyone encountered this before ?

Has anyone relieved the housing for this purpose?

Is there a way of identifying these castings externally?
