I've wondered about these machines for years. I have 6 short pages on it in the 1979 Tracked Vehicle Service Seminar manual. It say the Diff is called a TC-21 and has oil-cooled outboard mounted multi-disc steering brakes.The lube chart says it uses EP 80-90 in the differential case. Looks like a DMC invention.

Manual has no photos but says the diff has tapered roller bearings on the carrier and pinion that are mounted in adjustable threaded rings.(wow, like a real diff!)

Ive never seen one.
