It is probably a 2.56 geared Chevy 12 bolt. R8 shows to be a 2.56 gear for the Oldsmobile type 12 bolt and they may have used the same code for the same gear ratio on the Chevy rear. On the O type 12 bolt it has a 12 bolt cover that is smooth with no eyebrow at the top and the ring gear is actually a 10 bolt.
