I think that all Jeeps came with "Limited Slip" Diff's from the factory. Couldn't really tell ya if you had an aftermarket Differential or not. The only way you could tell is, try to get it stuck... 
There's some good info on this link, check it out...

How about just jacking the rear end up and spinning one tire? If they both spin the same direction, you have limited slip. If one spins opposite the other, you have open diffs.
Not all jeeps have limited slip differentials, mine are both open.
