Terrano LSD is the same as the front diff of your Safari.

I'd be very suprised if it doesn't have an LSD in it.
Terrano is the same diff but it has 31 spline axles and Safari rear is 33 spline.

I saw a patrol with open rear diff. Seemed like a low end model almost as it was missing other bits. But go take it for a skid and see if both wheels spin. Terrano lsd will fit the front diff only.

Yes go straight in with no mods. You use your pinion and ring gear you just swap the clutch packs.

I might be interested in the open diff if you want to get rid of it.
