D series Diff question.

[coldone 35]

The D200 basket case I bought has a busted diff side plate. There was a replacement one in the parts boxes. It seems to be an update one as it has 3/8 bolt holes. The original bull gear and the remaining side cover has 5/16 bolt holes.

I am guessing I need to get an upgrade side plate and bull gear. I dont guess i need to try and drill out what i have. I think I could do it to the side plate but i bet the bull gear is hardened.

Can somebody confirm my suspicions?
