Could also be the bearings , the seller may not have noticed the noise out of diff lock as there is usually less load within the transfer case , but if there is too much clearance the gears will be out of mesh especially under load .
Worst case scenario is the centre diff shims / other bearings are U/S and have chewed through the gears in which case probably not worth it. Maybe ask if the seller can take a pic with the lower cover off ( only 10 bolts ) of the intermediate and input gears so you can see if they are salvageable.

My plan is to rebuild the unit any way with a sleeve and an Ashcroft LSD. Then swap it over for mine and repeat.

Where is the noise coming from and what sort of noise is it??

In my case I was referring to the car ( the D1 )..... I wouldn't know if the CDL was noisy or not. My question however was "what Noise", as there was no description or audio clip.
