Thanks for all your comments so far, ..

Boob, your theory relating to the second transfer case flipped is exactly the same as Tony's and my other guru, Lawrie Winney.

The quandry now is, one transfer case or two with the second one reversed, bearing in mind that this would only apply if 4wd was utilised.

Bob 1, No, I'm saying that a 2nd case ISN'T necessary. Rear drive is always 1:1 to the carrier bogie, and while the t/case is permanently in Low, the front axle is only engaged when required. This will work irrespective of 2wd/4wd.

Boob 2, I was talking about using the PTO output shaft which always turns 1:1 with the trans input, in fact it's connected to this very same shaft by a dog clutch. The normal rear output shaft cannot be made to run at 1:1 while the front is 1.87 : 1, but the PTO can only ever run at 1:1.
Finding a donor C60X t/case in order to replace the PTO housing will provide a stronger output for the drive to the carrier bogie.
