I was double checking the date code on this axle (I had always interpreted it as a '68) and my eyes are playing tricks...is it a year code of 8 or 9?
I read it as D 25 8 or 9...large file warning:

This is the axle stamp from the same rear end
Here is the date code (casting) from a BV coded rear I had - it contains an 8 & a 9:

Looks like a probable nine from here.

thanks for the input Tom
I agree - I'd call it a "9"; configuration of the bottom half of the character is different than an "8".

Thanks John - appreciate the input
D259 is correct to my eyes.

Thank you also for the input Jerry.
Now the next question: Is this a good fit for an 05A Norwood built car?
I would say yes,
