Re the Eaton 2-speed diff discussion: There are references in the available LRDG literature about the trucks having a "creeper gear". This may have been an Eaton diff, but from my own experience driving "Te Aroha III" the ratio of first gear is so ridiculously low that we never, use it! I cannot imagine what circumstances might justify an even lower gear. So in my opinion, if the intention was to create a "creeper" gear, there was no need for an Eaton diff. However if it split all of the gears giving a lot more options at all speeds,
that might have been useful in the desert.
