That is not a posi, that is what they call a lunch box locker or ratching locker. Yes it replaces the spider and side gears but it does not use any clutch packs. There are teeth that will lock together when going straight. when you turn and have no power being applyied, the teeth are designed to rachet against each other allowing the tires to turn at different speeds.

These have been used if 4x4 vehicles for years as a cheap alternative to full lockers.
