That's strange, I always thought the early '70's C body rears, along with all year wagons, had the good axles. Obviously something is up with that axle as the 489 carriers came with cone type sure grips ( except for maybe some very early models) and you certainly seem to have the clutch type.

The 3rd member I posted is a new/rebuilt unit. I pulled an open 2.76 489 case out of the Newport rear end. I was surprised about the tapered axles as well, but I don’t mind buying new strange axles.
