Or better yet, spin the driveshaft by hand while having someone apply counter pressure on one and both wheels. Driveshaft will drive both wheels every time.

It's a simple gear differential, which behaves a lot like a torsen, but without any slip at all.
Now I am even more confused. Fully locked to me means both axles rotate always at same speed and that is obviously not the case here. Since there is only one driveshaft between the front diff and transfer box how could transfer box have anything to do with the differential action between left and right front axles? It does do it between front and rear by letting the front and rear driveshafts rotate at different speeds.

As for the actual topic it would be very interesting to see how much if any difference there is in acceleration times once you have enough speed to not have wheelspin in RWD mode.
