Sportomatic limited slip?

Did 1972 sportomatics come with limited slip?
Is the test the same as a 915, where you turn one side to say go forward then the other side goes forward too?

If they did, the trans ID number would have a 12 designation. Such as
925/16 12 xxxxxx sequence number

axle direction does not count?

the number on the case is 925/00. which means it was a 1971/72.
I thought that if the test was to turn an axle and see what the other side does. if we turn the the drivers side clockwise the passenger side moves counter clockwise wouldn't this indicate that the tansmission used limited slip?
Would it be possible that early transmissions were not marked with the 12?

If the tires turn in the same direction you have limited slip. If the tires spin in opposite directions you still might have it, but the clutches have worn out and are not doing anything.

the tires turn in the same direction

The tires turn in the same direction, so then i would assume we have limited slip on a sportomatic. Why would someone get it on a sporto with limited slip? Is it a rare option?

According to my COA, my car was ordered with a limited slip.
Sporto's were used for racing.
