My old man had a TK back in the 60s, it spun an axle and wrecked the spline. He had to replace the splined part in the diff too. Which model truck is yours in!

nfm was actually the S model, and from memory they used an Eaton diff, some even had the Eaton 2 speed, commonly seen as the railways buses, the army used them for a long time too
check all around the diff, there should be identification tags on it, those diffs were used in a lot of different vehicles - Morris and Austin used them for a while, a lot of the buses of the day were on bedford chassis but named after the bodybuilders about the only thing nmf77 signifies is it was built in 77 and it had a genuine bedford 4.9lt engine, commonly called the bedford 300,

and after all that, ID the diff, they were as common as muck, lots ended up under farm trailers complete with crown wheels and axles still in them ( and neither is actually need to be retained for them to run as trailers
they were also very popular for making ground saws ( to trench for water pipes and electrical cables )

is this the same one you were looking for earlier in the year, I should hunt up that thread cos if I remember rightly you had the measurements of the desired one with all except the spline number involveI will be among a few old diffs this xmas and the beddys in particular were not that had to slip out to check sizes
are you still down the coast!, did you fix it and it's chomped another one! 9 had an OLB that used to eat the flanges off regularly - had a few mm of bend in the bearing assembly- had to chuck the whole diff out eventually
