2006 Damon (Ford F53) differential fluid change madness

I'm feeling rather put out at the moment... I just drained and refilled the rear axle on my 2006 F53 chassis Damon Daybreak. The specifications say it's a Dana 135 and to change the gear oil at 50...

My 2001 F53 Owners Manual says the differential is lubed for life with a full synthetic.

"Your vehicle’s rear axle is filled with a synthetic rear axle lubricant and is considered lubricated for life. These lubricants do not need to be checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service is required or the axle assembly has been submerged in water. The axle lubricant should be changed any time the rear axle has been submerged in water."
