Default Rear Differential Lock - Do I have it?

I just picked up a used 2005 LR3 SE V8 from a respectable used car dealer. I do not have the sheet of paper that comes with new cars which list all the included standard and optional features.

Does anybody know how to tell if I have a rear differential lock (part of the heavyduty package)? When I switch to the snow, ice, grass terrain mode I do see two green icons that look like unlocked locks. One of these is at the center of the rear axle. In deep snow it changes to a locked lock (orange color) intermittently. Does this mean it is present?

(BTW: my reading earlier today has taught me I should probably be using mud and ruts setting for deep snow.)

Thanks in advance.

Check your spare tire. If you have a goodyear tire on a standard SE rim, not a steel rim with a temporary, chances are that you have the HD package which includes LRD. It's not 100%, but it's more likely than not to be true.
