Differential rotation refers to the poles and equator rotating at different rates. This is only possible for gas planets. Although the Sun is not a planet, it and Jupiter are the best choice.
From Wikipedia "... examples in our solar system include the Sun, Jupiter and Saturn."

Agree with MarauderX - the Sun's a star, and both the Sun and the moon are most definitely not planets.

You Are 68% Pure You're pretty pure, and you have no plans on changing that. You do have a devilish side though... and it will probably get the better of you. Sun ~ Scorpio Moon ~ Gemini Venus ~ Sagittarius

well none of your three groups contain 2 planets so ill assume you mean earth, venus, and jupiter in relation to the sun or moon.
well both venus and jupiter go around the sun and so does the earth, but you said earth in realtion to moon so earth would be differnet but your question is flawed.

I think the planet you are thinking of is Neptune. Neptune rotates on an axis that is approximately 90 degrees off of the other planets. Also I think that Pluto rotates in reverse of the direction of the other planets (not sure of that). Of course Pluto is no longer a planet by definition!

Sun and moon are not considered planets.

u should have phrased it "which two solar-system-objects' or something.. it's Sun and Venus. Sun rotates from its own west to east, as does the earth. i.e., counter-clockwise when we see it from the northern (or upper) part of the solar system. Venus on the other hand, rotates east to west. so it rotates differently

You only have one planet in each answer. I wouldn't know how to begin answering your question.
