M6 V6/V8 rear end, whats the difference?

I was under the impression that all the limited slip rear ends were the same, aside from gears. Am I wrong?

Your sizes are correct but according to the catalog the only car to use the 195mm diff is cars equipped with the MYB transmission. MYB is the designation for the 6L50E. So V6 manuals get the larger diff too.(again thats according to my catalog)
