My 69 L78 Nova has what appears to be the original BW rear (4:56) still in it, the cast date/assembly date/patina are right in line with everyting else on the car. The original gears were taken out and I do not have them, but if there is a specific COPO posi case/axel # I will see if it is there

The CBW rears have the heat treated stuff, but otherwise they are not really that 'special', ie; no special posi unit, clutch pak, springs, plates - none of that stuff that you would find on a 'BE' coded ZL1 rear. So, I believe that the CBW code was unique due to the 4.10:1 ratio going into a '70 Nova - in '69 this application would not have needed a special code (would have probably just been a BV code), but in '70 it was special, and therefore was part of the COPO (most likely #9737, not #9010).

Ken found his Nova down here in the city of Orange when they were shooting a special show about Ken and the house wives of Orange county.

Close...they were shooting a special about the "Housewives of Orange County: and how their purses went missing!

What Ken is saying is that you can't go wrong with good SoCal cars in general (no rust) unless they are from the beach area...
