Differential housing

My Elva Courier has a Riley rear axle which uses the same differential as Sprites/Midgets. In going through my diffs today I noticed that one of the housings is different than the rest--whereas in all the other housings the bearing cap bolts go into blind holes on this one the bolts go through the housing and are nutted on the back, plus the housing casting is shaped differently with a flat landing for the nut.

I have seen on the UK Morris Club site a reference to heavier housings (https://www.morrisminoroc.co.uk/mmoc.php?page=341). Is what I have one of them?
