Default What axles come with your JK???

I've been reading about which axles are best and why. I would just like to know which models come with which axles? If anyone would be kind enough.

My 07 Rubicon came with D44 front and D44 rear.

I belive the Saharas come with D35 front and D44 rears.

All Rubicons come with D44s front and rear, with electric lockers.
All Unlimited Saharas and Xs come with D30 fronts and SHOULD come with D44 rears.
2-door Saharas and Xs come with D30 fronts and MAY come with D35 rear.
Exact rear axle in the Saharah and X may depend on availability at the time of build.

Is there any way to find out? Maybe like a visual inspection or something like that? I tried looking in my manual but I didn't have all day. I tried looking at my addendum but that didn't tell me anything other than I have a LSD and 4.10. Besides, hopefully if someone can find out for sure what each model comes with that could be helpful to others who may have the same question but have a different model or option list.

Do you happen to know if there are any differences between a rear "X" D44 and a rear Rubicon D44? From what I've read so far, I think (totally guessing) that the alex housing is the same, but the spline count is different. Anybody know for sure?
Same carrier regardless. With locker option (x/sahara) same 32 spline shafts as rubi according to the wrangler engineers.
