It is from my Nichimo Luminous - that diff was their crowning achievement (and patented too), and was on all their 4wd buggies, including their first one (443 Exceed) released in 1986.
On the Nichimo cars it was not used as a front diff, but as a third diff between the central shafts that drive the front and rear diffs. You could actually hear it work too because when the pressure rings were forced apart enough for the small bevel gears to rotate it would make a clicking noise

Yes that's what I thought too - the XRay one is very similar, but has the advantage of being sealed so you can change oil viscosities - the Nichimo one is open in the gearbox.
