Well it’s no surprise to anyone else but that’s where I found the tools - jack and wheel brace. And yes, I can see where it’s been in contact with the top of the diff. Not as bad as the photos you share though. Now need to work out what to do about it
Some of us have had custom aluminium (preferable) or wood tooltrays built. These make better use of the suspension travel limited space above axle although due to build tolerances need to be sized for each car/model.
