Default Axle identification

I can't seem to find any markings that indicate whether my axle is a C or K? How do I identify it?

ha no kidding, i learn something new everyday.

usually at work what we do is knock the old seal out and then hopefully you can find a number somewhere on that rotted old seal that you can cross reference with to find the seal you need. but it sucks if its your daily driver to rip it out and not be able to find one. heck just get both and bring the other one back. they should only be like 5 bucks a piece, i do that alot too
