The vertically split axle housing design was a strictly a Ford design used from the model "T" days and before...
The banjo style was designed by Timken-Detroit Axle Corp and used in every type of vehicle imaginable ,according to my master Timken -Detroit axle manual from pre 1940.....EXCEPT Ford......
Although both designs used Timken bearings I believe the Aussies call the Ford design the "Timken" axle,witch is incorrect terminology..but they can be forgiven for this error ,which can be attributed to not enough Fosters and too many Vegemite fumes....
