Default 1985 Porsche 944 question about limited slip differential

I just purchased a 1985 944 which came with factory 15x7 and 15x8 Fuch wheels and sport seats but I was looking for the options code sticker on the back between the tail lights above the spare tire and didn't see the sticker. What are my odds that this car has limited slip? I know if I jacked up the rear end and spin the tire and if both spin the same direction, then it has LSD but right now the car is not running and it is up on a car trailer ready to be towed to my mechanic and have him figure out why it doesn't start.

I did check the owners manual and found the options code sticker and didn't see 220 on it but it does have quite a few options on it. I have heard that some cars have LSD even without having the 220 on the sticker. Is this true?

I guess I will know when I drop off the car to my mechanic tomorrow and jack up the car to spin the tires test but I am so anxious to know if I got a great deal or not. This will determine if I turn this car into my 944 Spec race car or whether it becomes my spare parts car.

slim. No 220 means probaly no LSD. However as these cars age option codes are less important since parts can be swapped over the years.
