Not an expert on those by any stretch - but I also thought that the (LT77? or is it LT95?) gearbox had an integrated transfer case on the 6x6's with two rearward output shaft flanges.

Do those 4 speed boxes have a PTO in addition to the twin rear drive, or are they simply using the PTO and the standard rear drive?

This could actually make for a very interesting modification to an RRC ute... if one were to "extend" the tray...

This is a 6x6 Ex Army box, I don't know if this would be the same setup as on the Rangie.
As you can see, the drive for the third axle comes off the PTO and is vacuum switched, the same as the centre diff switch.
And so they can run a PTO winch, the winch drive is run off the bottom of the transfer.
