Could be down to which diffs you have, early D3 had 50/50 centre diff and open rear diff, later it got 40/60 centre diff, I think it was introduced at different times for different engines. Then a bit later it got an option for sport rear diff as well.

No 4E/D3 ever had other than a 50/50 Torsen center diff as far as I know, and never a sports diff in the rear as the D4!!
