Have a look under the back - does it have a solid beam axle? If so it is the basic Watt's Link set-up. On the other hand if you see two exposed half-shafts going from the diff to the wheel hub carriers then it has IRS.

Another way to tell is to weigh your wallet - if you have IRS it will be rather light.

Good to hear mate - expect to have virtually 0 trouble with your falcon's rear end for many hundreds of thousands of kays to come.
Oh except for the odd trailing arm bush, but they're a half hour fix not a 4 hour fix!
