new to symmetrical awd

Im trying to understand the center/front differential terms we use.. so the front differential and the center differential refer to the same differential? The one located in the bottom right of this picture?

No.

The Center diff is in the left edge of the photo, it takes power from the transmission and distributes it to the Driveshaft (to the rear diff) and to the long shaft at the bottom of that photo (to the front diff). The Front Diff is in the lower right of that photo, it takes power from that sfaft and distributes it to the front axels -> wheels.
