    Wouldn't trust just seeing an S.

    Pop off the back plate and see is there an LSD unit inside.

    The S is normally printed onto the top of the casing in a white letter. The 338 would be the ratio so 3.38 which is the standard 318is M44 one

    I 'think' the M42 318is had a 3.38 and M44 is 3.45.

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    3.45 was the ratio for the M42 engined 318is and possibly some of the Automatic engined models

    The "S" lettering can be seen in the picture below. They're not the same casing but the stamping would be in the same place. It's just white paint
