Default Differential oil change, 1996 4.0 2+2

Today I changed the differential lube in my car and found the drain plug easily reached on the bottom of the case. Much to my surprise, I also found the refill plug also easily reached and removed. I almost missed seeing the refill plug because of several posts on this forum indicating the plug was almost impossible to get to. What gives here? Did Jaguar change the case cover to include the refill plug in the '95-'96 cars? I am of the understanding that the earlier Dana rear had no way to drain and fill without removing the rear from the car. This is, I believe a Salisbury rear. I assure any owner of the '95-'96 4.0 cars will find this task very easy. I filled the case with Royal Purple gear lube suitable for posi-traction rear ends.
Cheers, RagJag
