Sprinter Kouki axles are larger than Sprinter Zenki axles.
Zenki centres (including LSD) are interchangeable with early Celica centres, while Kouki are not.
Wayne Stephenson's Celica production data at http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/stepho/ce lprod.htm indicates that 4.111:1 T differential is by far most common for Australian market but specifically local TA23 with automatic transaxle featured either 4.111:1 T or optional 4.3:1 T final ratio. This ratio should be rare given that to buy a 4.3-equipped Celica the buyer would have to specify;
Celica with the smaller engine (RA23 with 18R was simultaneously available), then;
specifically request the shorter diff ratio so the three-speed auto would make 5000RPM at 100 on the freeway.
Who would?
Note that anecdotal evidence suggests that local early TA22 was fitted with D type final ratio as described at the above link for A20 Celica. Note that other markets received early Celicas with T diff ratios as long as 3.727 (but with bigger R motors).
