Well, not what you want to hear, but here it is:

"D8" if you look close will probably be "308", sometimes when they drill the hole for the rivet they hit the first number. This means that the gears are 3.08

Here's the bad part bro. The "75" means it's a 7.5" rear, and not an 8.8" that we thought at first.

The 4K16 is a date code which translates to Oct. 16, 1984

Take all this into account with the 9" drum brakes, and my money is on a Ranger rear end.

I know this is sooooooo not what you wanted to hear, but that's what ya got buddy. If you can find a posi unit for the 7.5", it's only good to about 250 RWHP, it's just not beefy enough.
