Don't tear "everything" apart, just remove one back wheel and look at the center section of the rear axle.  Might even be able to get away with just popping off a center cap.

31 spline will have 3 holes in a row.  28 spline will have a large rectangular-ish indent.

*this is almost always the case, but apparently there are early versions of 28 spline that have 3 holes like the later 31 spline.  However, if your rear axle is original to your car this should not be a possibility.  If I'm wrong, the experts here will correct me ;-)
