Any information on the LSD and ratio utilized?

Wheels are AMG Monoblock. They look to be 18”. Ride height looks stock. Quaife offers a limited slip.

5 G Tronic? Sure seems like that box used minimal electronics. Mechanical connection between shifter and box. Internal switches for reverse lights and P or N for the starter.
