Default Type of front diff drain plug??????????

This is the last detain I need to attend to and I cannot locate the front diff drain plug. The full plug is a 10 mm internal hex about 1/2 way up the pass side diff case. The drain type, is it internal hex, internal torx, a bolt on the bottom of the diff case, just cannot find it, help please, my last job, before she ready to rock and roll again, thanks, john

Default The Bently does not show a drain plug

But does show the fill plug. Nothing in the diagram that shows a drain plug. It does have a procedure for removing the drive axles, and it states to have a catch pan underneath when the drive axle is removed to catch the gear lube.

Maybe it doesn't have one for the final drive front because it has the ATF cavity too close to it?

I would top it off and be on my way!
