I just read this in the classifieds and found at least one other forum post on a different site (Google search) that indicated that some lunchbox lockers will fit both the Dana 30 and 35. I'm not talking all of them. Actually I'm only talking about the non ABS D35 locker fitting in the D30.

Both axles have 27 spline 1.16 diameter axles. I have a D35 Powertrax No-Slip and the side gears did drop in the D30 carrier I have. If it fits and works I am thinking about installing it in my D30.
 
So finally got around to working on this. We'll finish up tomorrow but if you know anything about installing a powertrax no slip in a d30 you know that the image here shows the block provided with the kit "gauging" the gap. It shows that it is neither too wide nor too narrow. Also shows the "slit" used for installing the C clip in a Dana 35. Will post back up tomorrow but it looks like a non ABS D35 powertrax no slip will fit in a D30. Probably goes for the lockright and other lunchbox lockers. Doesn't go the other way because of the c-clip slot.

I missed the original post, but I've run d35 lock rite in my ecors d30. Like you said, it looked identical except the d35 c-clip slot.
 
Correction, I am confident that the axle I pulled the locker out of was a TJ axle which by default would have had the ABS carrier regardless of whether or not it had ABS.
