Is it possible that in this case some bearing in the differential is bad as well?

A good way to isolate the problem is to jack up the back of the car (both sides), put it in neutral, leave the parking brake off, and rotate the wheel as you listen carefully to the source of the noise.
Another thing you can do while the back end is up in the air is grab the wheel and pull one side and then the other toward you, then the top of the tire and the bottom of the tire. If there's play and slop in the wheel, it's a wheel bearing.
