10 Bolt Salisbury Differential. The 10 bolts that hold the cover on have no connection with the name. The name 10 Bolt describes the number of bolts that hold the Crownwheel to the Hemisphere. Click to Enlargen. Photo by HG383PREM.

A Salisbury diff is called a 10 bolt because it has 10 bolts holding the crownwheel to the hemisphere inside the differential. The fact there are 10 bolts holding the cover on is just a coincidence.

[edit] Rear Axles:

Note that there are coarse and fine spline axles.

[edit] Coarse Spline Axles:

The coarse spline axles have the fewest teeth and are the early type. These were prone to breaking.

[edit] Fine Spline Axles:

The fine spline axles have the most teeth and are the later type. These solved the axle breaking problem.

[edit] Diff Change:

Note that when changing the differential the axle type must be observed. Changing the side gears inside the differential is a quick job for a diff ace and can make it easy to match the axle type to the side gears.
