Point of order
The B210 [120Y] used the H150 diff in 3.9 to 1 ratio.
Only 1000's & 1200's used the H145 size as far as I can tell, although the H150 will bolt into the H145 housing using a spacer.[?] [this issue of a spacer is currently under debate]
The H150 is available in 3.7 to 1 ratio as well as 3.54 to 1.

Shame there wern't more diff options for the 120y
What more could there be? The rear end size & ratios were tailored for the car, complete with it's stock A12, A13 or A14 engine [depending on which country you bought it in] so, what else could a new car buyer want? The larger & heavier H165 series of rear ends would have been un-necessary overkill, it would have cost more, thereby eroding a sales advantage, & it would degrade ride quality, something that motoring writers would pick up on very quickly, to the detriment of sales.
I guess that's why there were not more diff options.
