Are you sure? On my tranny the big hat rivets were on the diff side. That
makes sense too since their purpose is to retain the cross shaft which is
on the diff side, not the ring gear side.

I assume by "ring gear side" and "diff side" we're talking about the side
the diff does not stick out of and the side the diff does stick out of,
respectively.
