I just found something interesting: "Eaton E-Locker 4"
It seems to use a very similar design to the sterling. The mechanism works by grabbing the back face of side pinion gear. Only real difference is Eaton put the mechanism opposite to the ring gear. Everything else is nearly identical, including the short travel, and larger number of locking elements (possibly to compensate for the short travel?).
They make a point of saying that it "Does not disengage when shifting from forward to reverse and vice versa".
