Default Kawasaki or Graziano Rear End?

Hello,
I have a bit of a Frankenstein Club Car. The rear end is a 97-2013 Club Car DS Gasser (body is an electric). I would like to put a set of high speed gears in the golf cart (have a 22hp vtwin swap). I have done some research and not found a definitive answer on this subject. So hopefully someone can help. I've searched, looked at the Illustrated Parts Lists (IPL) for the years, but I am not confident in my answer.

Are there both Kawasaki and Graziano rear ends on Gassers during those models years? The IPL shows only one type of rear end. I am aware there's a sticker showing the manufacturer but I have cleaned up the rear end and repainted it (so no sticker). My rear end matches the images/diagram.

Thank you all for the help!

Do you have a picture of the transaxle to see which side the input shaft is on?

I'm assuming you mean the side the clutches are on? It's the passenger side.

I believe the Graziano rear end is the one used on the 1997-up gas carts. But we could easily ID it with a good photo.

Noticed that your cart has a pre-1992 steering wheel and a pre-1993 rear main body. Is it an older cart?

Yep it's a 90 body (electric), 97+ rear end, and a Predator 670. Like I said bit of a Frankenstein. Runs great though. Ital pop huge wheelies but I need some better top end.
I attached the two pictures I have. Anyone notice my catch can?

Going by my research I thought it was a Kawasaki.

Any transaxle from 1997 to around 2012 was a Kawasaki clockwise rotation "Unitized Transaxle" on a gasser,
Graziano's were a flip/flop on electric carts in a lot of cases.

From your 2nd pic, it looks like a unitized transaxle,
with a pic from the clutch side, It'll probably look like mine...

Yes sir it looks the same! Got one more question. What's the rear clutch setup you have on yours? It looks fixed vs the traditional setup.
