I don't know about " RR optioned satellites" but RM Road runners could have either axle. Positively.

I’m pretty sure in 73-74 you could only get an 8.75, that’s why the GTX’s were not available with a 4spd. I would like to be proven wrong so please do so if you can. My extremely well optioned 73 GTX has a 8.75

I don't have the factory literature on the phased in 74 9.25 but hopefully @Vaanth can chime in.

Looks like the type of backyard body work I do.. Taught myself with old '70s magazine articles

It's interesting to see the proper re-do process, because I fully expect to have to do the same thing 10 years down the road to my Charger when I have the means. Hopefully AMD will make sheet metal by that point.

The "new" 9-1/4" rear axle was released in 1974 and available on all C-body and D-body cars, and B-body station wagons. The axle was standard equipment on the following in 1974:

• C-body and D-body with 440.
• C-body station wagons.
• B-body station wagons except 318 with automatic transmission.

Note that the B-body station wagon rear axle is actually a C-body axle. The rear track and perch width on the B-body station wagon is wider than the B-body car due to this.

The 9-1/4" rear axle completely replaced the 8-3/4" axle in all 1975 car and light truck applications.
