ok, so WTF is this?

I finally drug the mystery axle that was left in my yard when I moved in around to the front of the garage (that fugger is heavy). I even took some photos of it. Can someone help me identify it???

It has an 8-lug bolt pattern & 8 little bolts in the hub. The (SUA) spring perches are angled to the side. The diff cover has 10 bolts in 2 different sizes.

An old eaton rear axle maybe. Expensive and maybe more difficult to find parts on. I'll bet the ratio is low!
