I have 2 different 3 bolt rear ends right now. I have a 3 bolt that came with my car and a 3 bolt that I bought off ebay. My question is.... Is the number at the bottom next to the japanese letters the gear ratio? On the rear that came with my car it says B1G and underneath that 4.545. The 4.545 means the gear ratio, correct?

The reason why I want to know this is because the rear I got off of ebay says B17 and underneath that it says 4.545. I just want to make sure they're the same gear ratio before I mess my car up.

Here's a picture for reference. (blurry picture, my camera sucks)

Thanks for the help.
