The range rover classic had shocks facing opposite ways to enable them to clear some parts of the car, cant remember what parts but thats why

Yeap it's an inmperial axle with slightly smaller bearings in the diff and a different filler plug (in the diff IIRC).

They were done like that to control trosional tramp on the rear axle, no other reason.
