The amount of oil will depend on whether you have an open diff or an LSD.
The LSD will take less oil because it has 4 spider gears instead of 2, and the carrier is more massive and takes up more space.
You should fill to the oil plug hole.

Great minds think alike.
I went to a lot of trouble getting the tubes spotless and doing everything right when I changed the inner axle seals (which were leaking badly after a lot of time driving through deep mud-soup in the Simpson and down the Birdsville Highway), only to find a slight seepage reoccurring after a few weeks of normal driving.
Reduced the oil level and the seepage stopped.

The rear isn't upside down and should be filled to the filler plug hole.

They don't appear to have them on ebay any more with that seller though.
