sh*t, I think I goofed on that. My bad. Leave it in park when you do it.

But yes that looks pretty normal for an open end. Limited slip would have both wheels turning in the same direction. But if it's not a hassle, try it in park, and leave one tire on the ground.

I think you just had it backwards the first time. With the transmission in neutral and one tire off the ground, if that tire moves it's an open diff. If it doesn't spin it's a posi. Or if you can loosen your lug nuts with both tires off the ground and the transmission in park, it's a posi(but if it's a worn posi, the tire may still move).

Any way with what the op just dscribed it's an open rear. And i've had an open rear spin both before.
