Can anyone please help me identify these axles? Advertised as Dana 44. The rear end looks 45 to me. The front is iffy, maybe D44HD?

Pictures with good lighting will really help us answer your questions.
Do you know the widths of each?
The front appears to be a SUA drivers drop. My guess is it’s from a wagoner.

I don’t have the lengths yet. Planning to go put hands on them this weekend. I was told they were both Dana 44 but the front doesn’t look right due to the arch on the top lip. It has the appearance of a Dana 30. Hard to tell for sure with the angle and amount of dirt on it. Have had several people tell me it was most likely from a Wagoneer. Do you know the lengths I should be looking for to determine if it’s a Cherokee, Wagoneer, or J truck?
Its a low pinion.
Driver side drop.
Ball joint knuckles.
It’s SUA with a leaf spring perch cast into the center section
Possibly a Ford Dana 44. The BOM that is stamped into the axle tube will tell you exactly what year, make, and model it came in.
CJ’s had a Dana 300...that means passenger side drop. The axle above is likely a Ford 44.
I could be completely wrong. We need the BOM to confirm.
I stand corrected, I believe you are correct. I'm sticking with a rear CJ Dana 44 though.
Either way, hard to tell from the pictures.
A 6 lug CJ?
Also, hard to tell, but the rear 44 looks to be SOA. The spring pads do look like they are narrow like CJ leafs.
Good grief, I'm obviously not paying attention....disregard everything I've said here.
Wait...I'm offended...does that make me right now?
