That is a strange one! Suppose it could have a bolt or something jammed in there.
Have you tried jacking the front up and rotating the wheels be hand?

Any oil in the box? SWMBO had a Mk2 Golf once and the diff on that siezed when all the oil leaked out the box. Still drove but was a bit noisy!

Had this happen on the Mini... Planet gear broke some teeth off and jammed the diff...  With something blocking the planet gears, there's obviously not any differential-action possible. Which could explain what's happening. |
