You are asking:

What about the two rectangular-solid, partly-hollow
thingies that are connected to the motors via a shaft?
Differentials?

I think those are worm gear boxes. There's a worm gear sitting on the axle that
runs through the top, connected to the motor. It drives another gear that sits
below it. Not a new Lego part.
