I think you need to give a little more details.

All I see is W for Warren Michigan.

I attached the link to 1969 Axle codes, but all other years are a click away.

Maybe not a Chevelle axle?

Not a mis-stamp. Most likely out of a 1970-72 Grand Prix or GTO. 3.31 open. They used Chevrolet 12 bolt style rear ends in 1970-1972 in the Grand Prix's or GTO's with larger cubic inch engines.
