FWIW, and it's been mentioned on here quite a bit but worth repeating, the genuine LR/GKN unis are special.
They are 1300 Spicer size across the cross, but use a 1310 size trunnion, so are equivalent in strength to a 1310 uni.
Hardy Spicer can also supply them. Search in The Good Oil for part #'s.
If you use a standard size 1300 uni you are compromising strength/life.

Well im thinking mine is a T/W as what your are describing is screaming out that i got lucky
