How can it be?
1) I assume you mean this 'box'

if so, yes it is the front differential, which is mounted in the sump casting.

2) what was running w/o oil, the engine or the front differential? (they have separate oil systems)
If you mean the differential, count the teeth on the two differentials and compare them. R32 & R33 are the same, R34 was different.
