could be many things like
collapsed bearing
foreign body in gear mesh
just plain shagged.
pinion nut come slack
You're gonna have to strip it to find out mate.

seen this before it doesn't take make surfavce rust to seize a diff

Put it nose down and pour in 500mm of diesel or kerosene or Wd40 and let it soak
