The 5-speeds are 50:50. The non-DCCD 6-speeds (like what I've got) I'm about 90% sure are 50:50, while the DCCD ones are varying degrees of rear-biased depending on year and market. I think they range from 45:55 to 35:65.

The 5-speeds like yours have a viscous limited slip center differential. They are 50:50 until one or a pair of wheels slips and then the limited slips steps in and locks things up to control the slip. There's no fancy electronics to do any of the locking up, purely mechanical. In fact, the only electronic things on the 5-speed in an SVX would be the speed sensor and the reverse light switch.
