I think the S2000 rear diff is on the car in those pictures - certainly there's something in there at the rear end (and it doesn't look heavy duty enough to be a 'proper' rear diff/axle).

Hansen and Pailler used T16 engines, but they were works backed and at the time Citroen were running a Dakar programme so spares were easier to find, it would be insanity to try and run one of those engines now!!

Yep, the MI16 engine is what they're talking about using - it's really the only option, as you say T16 engines and parts are very few and far between (and any that do exist are better off being used on genuine T16 cars tbh). I guess the running gear will also be 'off the shelf' items too so the car will be externally accurate but with a very different spec under the skin.
