Hi All. Is there an inspection "port" or similar so that I can check the
fluid level of the differential gear? TIA

Is item #2, hex bolt with washer, the filler plug in this diagram:

33&fg=05


If so, you could open it and check the fluid there.

Alternatively, it could be item #5, screw plug with o-ring, here:

Good Luck!

OK, just remember to make sure you can open the filler plug before you
start draining. Good Luck!
