Hmmmmm
F5M42 2-V7A6 / VA4906 - 5 speed manual - helical LSD
I have a different second number, but i assume thats just to identify the specific box to the car, and doesnt have any effect on its internals/type?
If so i have a Helical LSD

All Version R's came with helical LSD's from factory. Not sure if people could choose a different LSD as an option though.

They used two or three different ones along the way so no they are not all the same.

We talking about Version R's? Because I haven't seen a Version R with anything but a Helical LSD. I know there were a couple of different LSD's as options for the other models.

All pre facelift cars with an LSD were the viscous type.
