This has been discussed a few other times, and sorry to tell you, the brochure from the dealer is incorrect. (That's why it has a little disclaimer on the bottom talking about errors.)
I have personally checked with the axle engineer in charge of the H3 (quite a few times on other subjects too ), the brand quality chassis manager has been in our facility quite a few times, and the service engineer for this part is a close friend...it is a 4.56:1 ratio in the Diffs.

(Trans 1st gear ratio x transfer case ratio x axle ratio = crawl ratio)

AUTO
Off-Road:3.059 x 4 x 4.56 = 55.796 (rounded to 56:1)
Non-Off-Road: 3.059 x 2.64 x 4.56 = 36.825 (rounded 37:1)

MANUAL
Off-Road: 3.78 x 4 x 4.56 = 68.947 (rounded 69:1)
Non-Off-Road: 3.78 x 2.64 x 4.56 = 45.505 (rounded 46:1)

NOTE: The manual first gear might be 3.79, I came across two specs in my PAD drawings for this gear.
