Which Axle Is In A 2005 3500 4X4 Dually? Fluids?

Can't find the tag on the front or rear axle... Can anyone confirm the stock axles on a 2005 G56 3500 dually 4X4 with tow package, built in January 05 (first with G56 tranny)? The maintenance manual indicates 5 different axles (Front: 9 1/4 AA; 9 1/4 AA EL; Rear: 10 1/2 AA; 10 1/2 AA EL; 11 1/2 AA). Just need to confirm this before getting fluids.

On that subject... Any recommendations for reasonably priced fluids/lub (ATF+4, 75W 140 or 75W 90). I don't need any Amsoil recommendations as I have looked at their site and know what they recommend. Don't want to start an oil war so please keep it to stuff that you use that is priced well...
