I seem to recall it being mentioned to be Toyota piece, but I could be wrong. It wouldn't be an R160 or R180 though, those are much too weak for a RWD car. They are Nissan diffs, and the last time either of them was used in a rwd production car was the 510 and the original 240z respectively. If they were going to use a Nissan diff, the obvious choice would be the R200 (silvia/240sx, n/a 300z) as it is quite strong, and is an easy transplant into the Impreza rear subframe.
