HO72 rear diff load bolt for ring gear vs fill plug

Does anyone have a picture they would be willing to post to differentiate the load bolt for the ring gear vs the fill plug for the gear oil on my Eaton HO72 rear differential? I want to change my diff fluid but read that I will create a big issue if I accidentally loosen the load bolt for the ring gear instead of the fill plug. Thank you in advance.
