Is this the original rear end?

I was told today that chevy didn't have a rear loader 10 bolt rear end until 63. Is this true? If so can any one ID this rear end. I'm going to look for some numbers. Maybe that will help.
Thanks

It looks right to me. I know pre-54's had enclosed driveshaft but the diff cover looks the same. I believe all the way up to 62. Your's looks original to me..

That rear is correct for the year. Its not a rear loader. Its like the ford pumpkin but had a bolt on rear cover.
