what diff housing(/axles) do I have (and what LSD will fit?)

The chassis is an '89 from Japan, with a '98 S13 SR swap (and selected interior pieces - including the oh-shit handle!)

Can anyone tell me what diff housing I have? I was told the LSD (either 1 way or 1.5 way) is a Nismo, but I've never actually popped the baby out to check.
Basically, i'm clunking like a mofo and the clutchpacks are not locking (even in the rain on 10-year-old 195/55/15 Yokohama AVS ES100s -- until I really push her out) and so I'm thinking of upgrading to a new LSD. The Tomei TTrax comes to mind, but also open to suggestions. (Wonder if Nismo still make the SSS? Ha!)

When buying, say, a T-Trax, will the one designed for a USDM open diff fit, or do I need the one for the the US VLSD housing? Or will neither of these fit and I will need one for a Japanese model... if that's the case, can you tell if I have an '89 Japanese Open/VLSD, or a '98 Open/VLSD housing? Any idea about the part number?

Ideas where to buy? (will be shipping to Hong Kong...)

Many thanks to all - any help would be appreciated. Pics attached.
