Yes, in fact you'll be hard pressed to find a late-style pinion/ring gear
set anyway. The early gears fit the late case.
The only difference is that the bearing preload is done with shims on the
early diffs and with the collapsible spacer on the later diffs.

Well, if you are replacing a ring/pinion, I'll go out on a limb and assume
that you've broken something. In that case, it is always prudent to
replace the bearings...
What's the pinion yoke?
