The rear engine photos are interesting. There's basically no room for a rear diff based on the photos of the frame but if you look at the sketch of the rear side of the engine in Figure 8, 9 and 10 it looks like they are using a rear transaxle with the differential bolted directly to the engine case. The sub transmission looks similar to the pioneer 1000 with the front drive shaft coming out the front right.

Tough to say without the rest of the machine in the images. Now that you mention the ENG and DCT filters, those are about the same place on our machines. Still not sure where the rear diff would go since the frame ends right there.
