The last paragraph inplies a Borg Warner type lsd,(as fitted to 70's and 80's Holdens and Falcons) where the side gears, under load, act to lock the side gear to the carrier.The side gear is angled at the back, and wedges into a matching taper in the housing.
Incidentally the Detroit Locker was fitted in the 6x6 Dodge T223 during ww2, and as I understand would still drive one side, when the half shaft on the other side was broken.
