Rear Diff Question?

Rear Diff Question?
I recently did my right rear wheel bearing. Today I was double checking it as I was hearing a slight sqweek coming from the back of the car. The wheel was fine but as I was trying to duplicate the noise, I raised the rear of the car on jackstands and placed the car in drive. I only noticed the left wheel turning. It was also like this in reverse. Is this normal or is there a problem with the differential. The vehicle is a 1995 Vanden Plas without traction control.

MOST X300s, aside from the XJR, do not have limited slip differentials. There is a "secretly coded" label on the right side of the rear differential cover. Red and yellow stripes mean standard, non-limited slip. Red and yellow stripes with a black X through them means limited-slip. The action of the rear wheels when off the ground is a tell-tale as well.
The XJR came standard with the LSD, and the XJ12 did not (at least in the USA).
The brochures state that the LSD was not available as an option, but some were put in down the road, here and there...
