I may be missing it but that front axle doesn't look like it has a locker in it. Guess it could be an ARB and the line is just out of sight.
The OP asked for a factual explanation. Here's my best effort:
Tripple locked usually refers to three parts being "selectable." The center diff (if a vehicle has one) and the diffs in the front a rear axles. Am I right to assume that the center diff would have to be manually selectable by a switch or a cable for the vehicle to be considered "tripple locked." I'm thinking of how Subarus center diffs, for example are controlled by the computer (I think Porche does too) to determine how much power to send to which axle. I don't think that would really count, because it could conceivably be very little power sent to one axle ... just like an open or even limited slip diff. Land Rovers and some Land Cruisers, on the other hand, have a switch you can actuate that just locks it solid so 100% goes to both axles all the time until you turn the switch off ... just like locking the differential in one of the axles ensures that 100% of the power goes to both tires. So with that center diff locked and both axle differentials locked you are considered "tripple locked" Hence if you have the ability to do so, you can advertise that your vehicle is tripple locked.
Now help me out here guys, because I'm actually a little confused myself here ... My '40 (and most normal 4x4's) would kind of be in a grey area there because the transfer case could be considered kind of like a "spool" among "center diffs" couldn't they? I say this because, f you engage the front axle by putting it in "4H" or "4L" that pretty much guarantees 100% power to both axles and putting in it "2H" guarantees 100% to only the rear axle and zero to the front axle.
For simplicity I'm leaving out twin stick stuff. LOL
Auto or manual hubs is a whole different animal. That dictates whether the power gets from the axle shafts to the wheels/tires. Because you can have your diffs locked and your manual hubs unlocked and you'll still zero power to the wheels even though both front axle shafts (left and right) are getting 100% of the power from the locked differential. Auto hubs take the human factor out of that equation. If you engage the front drive shaft (e,g. by using 4H or 4L) and your front axle shafts receive power (e.g. for simplification, your diff locked is turned on) your tires will receive power as well, every time.
This is more of a tech thing, but the OP asked, so I'm humoring them.
