It seems as though this came up recently but I can't find it now. Where is
the rear axle vent located on a type 44?  The question came up recently and
I would just as soon not have to crawl under the car to find it.

drivers side axle tube, closer to the wheel than the 3rd member. 1/2
way up on the tube, look for the chunk o grease on the tube :-))

It should be a tiny hole on the driver's side axle tube.. about  11"-12"
from the cover... and slightly below center of the tube.

It's under the band around the axle tube, that secures the driver's side
brake line.  The band has a recess stamped into it that shields the vent
hole, and lets it breath most of the way around.

Y'know... I never thought of that! But it sure does make sense..
