the third member houses the diff.
as for your swap, iirc teh v6 3rds are heavier but a good upgrade. then again im a first gen guy. lol, and still getting used to yotas. XD

All 8 inch third members are interchangeable no matter the year of the truck they came out of or the engine that was in the truck. That being said, the third members out of the v6s are a heavier duty part but they still work in other applications as long as it is an eight inch axle

One of the easiest ways to tell what your gear ratio is, is to drop the drive-shaft and look at your pinion nut. If no one has messed with it, it should have a color on it. http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/4R_TechInfo.shtml <- That's a link to a page that has the color code. And also any diff out of a rear toyota axle will fit, and I used the front diff out of a solid axle for a while, so they work to. And getting the whole rear axle from the V6 would b a good choice, hey're considerably thicker.

I wouldn't go on the idea for the gear paint. if someone did some work on the rear or front diff they could have used any color paint. It is a great theory if it has never been touched before tho.
