The case (carrier) you have is a Dana 36. The D44 only has two top bolts and was installed on manual cars only. It's possible that this shop inserted a thick ring gear, which can only be used on the Series 2 carriers. Series 2 carriers for D36's came with 2.59 ratio and on coupes. The 3.07 ratio was for convertible automatics.

If your original ratio was 3.07, thick ring gear sets will not fit - so this butthead shaved the gear and possibly the carrier wall.
