Jack up one wheel. Start car, put in gear and give it some revs.

If you sit where you are = non LSD

If you go flying off the Jack and into a nearby wall = LSD

Or, if you fancy the pants of Marisa Tomei:

Mona Lisa Vito: The car that made these two, equal-length tire marks had positraction. You can't make those marks without positraction, which was not available on the '64 Buick Skylark!
Vinny Gambini: And why not? What is positraction?
Mona Lisa Vito: It's a limited slip differential which distributes power equally to both the right and left tires. The '64 Skylark had a regular differential, which, anyone who's been stuck in the mud in Alabama knows, you step on the gas, one tire spins, the other tire does nothing.
[the jury members nod, with murmurs of "yes," "that's right," etc]
Vinny Gambini: Is that it?
Mona Lisa Vito: No, there's more! You see? When the left tire mark goes up on the curb and the right tire mark stays flat and even? Well, the '64 Skylark had a solid rear axle, so when the left tire would go up on the curb, the right tire would tilt out and ride along its edge. But that didn't happen here. The tire mark stayed flat and even. This car had an independent rear suspension. Now, in the '60's, there were only two other cars made in America that had positraction, and independent rear suspension, and enough power to make these marks. One was the Corvette, which could never be confused with the Buick Skylark. The other had the same body length, height, width, weight, wheel base, and wheel track as the '64 Skylark, and that was the 1963 Pontiac Tempest.
Vinny Gambini: And because both cars were made by GM, were both cars available in metallic mint green paint?
Mona Lisa Vito: They were!
Vinny Gambini: Thank you, Ms. Vito. No more questions. Thank you very, very much.
[kissing her hands]
Vinny Gambini: You've been a lovely, lovely witness.

In the ATR (which has LSD) they don't spin wheels when jacked up.

Something to do with a certain type of LSD?

Did any 5th hens comes with a LSD? And is it only JDM cars that came with the option?

a) jack up both front wheels, spin one whell by hand and the other wheel should spin in opposite direction then you have lsd.

Doesn't a normal diff work the same way as in the other wheel will spin in the opposite direction as well?

This worked for me:

Chock rear wheels, put handbrake on tight, jack up both front wheels.

Start engine, put it in 5th, then put something on the gear lever to remind you it's in gear!

Let engine idle in 5th, front wheels should turn slowly.

Slow down one wheel to a stop. If you can stop it AND the opposite wheel starts to turn backwards - No LSD. If you can't stop it spinning AND/OR the opposite wheel continues to spin forwards - LSD.

This is obviously dangerous and should not be attempted by anyone anywhere ever /end disclaimer.
