Hi Ron,
I can see it is quite possible the no-spin diff causes less problems if not driving on all wheels, all the Stawarts I have worked on were of course permanent 6x6.
Something that has just come to me is that the Salamander airfield crash tender was faster in top gear, 10.05 ratio, against 12.9 in a Mk1 Stolly, and this was running at approx the same overall weight, and they both have the same 1st gear ratios.
I have spent much time standing on my head working inside them
regards, Richard
