Question Look at my rear end!!

OK so my '61 Bomber was out for a stroll today!! After a ton on engine work and brake work and some luck.... Two things stumped me today as I worked away at brakes....with the rear up and brakes done, I was putting the drum back on when I noticed I couldn't spin the hub...apparently I have a limited slip or a locker of sorts in there...cool!! So I've looked around and couldn't find an immediate answer so I ask here... Here's what is on my rear end tag:

46-13
3-54

Then casting # 0-3028 then an "A" with a circle around it and 44-1

So I'm making some assumptions here that it's a Dana 44 with 3-54 gears. What can we tell about diff from the numbers above? Anything?

Also, my front drum brake backing plates have no adjustment holes?? How do you adjust the front brakes without needing to take the wheels and drums back off? Or is that the tale?
