Question Does the Disco 2 have factory lockers??

This may be dumb question, but needs clarifying..
I was under the impression that this 04 Disco is equipped with factory lockers on it.. after getting into a truck discussion with a friend I then began to wonder what exactly is in those "pumkins"? I assume it is equipped with lockers, because if not, why is there an option to pull the transfer case shifter to the left side?? Since its full time 4x4 and the High and Low options are on the right side, I just sought for some clarification on it.
I googled it, and I got no results other than people asking for advise on adding lockers to their rigs. So then I wondered more about this.

So, are there lockers on it, and are they good enough to not need an upgrade??

its not a locker its a Center Differential Lock, which basically splits the power 50/50 front and back.

you can add lockers to the front and the back so that you can have with the cdl engaged 25/25 front and 25/25 rear.

So is that good enough if i never plan to do severe rock crawling or mudding?? I plan to go to Uwharrie Nat'l forest and ride their trails, but I don't see myself hitting the extreme trails..

Rock crawling? No, you'll break a diff soon enough. Mudding you should be fine unless you suddenly catch traction...
