The top of the picture is a bevel gear differential that is coupled to a different size gear on either side. These gears are rigidly mated with a shaft, one on each side. The shaft's are separate from left and right sides.
In the lower portion of the picture are two different size gears (opposite of the ones on the differential shaft) that ride on bearings and mate with the other gears. The shifting dog is rigidly attatched to that shaft. And engages either gear to drive the differential.
But I'm still oblivious as to why there is even a differential there, this is just sort of the technokats design + one bevel gear differential.
I'm confused too.
