The MLD isn't too hard to build either, although I haven't had any luck with
an ALD yet.

Curious, what do MLD and ALD mean?

BTW I took some quick pics of my clutch-pack LSD (installed in my
McLaren F1).
Two views of the engine bay are here (I removed the spoiler and opened
the hatch):

The LSD is near the bottom of the pictures, below the engine bay.
A closeup of the LSD is here:

The halfshaft on the right side is connected to the LSD housing ONLY.
It is not connected to any gears!  The blue piece on the housing is part
2711 (Technic Rotor 2 Blade with 2 Studs), and this is what the right
halfshaft connects to.

The left halfshaft spins freely in the housing (the black parts of the
housing are part 32017 "Technic Liftarm 1 x 5").  The left halfshaft
goes all the way through the white clutch gear and the 16 tooth gear in
the middle.

This is not a complete differential because it has no method of
connecting the drivetrain to it.  My McLaren actually has two
differentials for the rear, the second one used to connect to the drivetrain.
