I have come across a carrier for sale in the UK with what looks like a locker in it (picture below). Any thoughts on what sort of locker it is? Thanks for any input.
Can anyone identify this locker?

It’s a lunchbox locker. Replaces the spider gears of an open carrier. What brand it is would be anyone’s guess unless it’s marked. I’d avoid it and get a real locker.
It's not junk it's a common lunchbox automatic locker. It's impossible to know who made it, but they are a "real" locker. They work fine in a front axle, I happily ran one for years in my previous TJ, but they're very poorly behaved when on the street in a rear axle.

That picture looks like it has a small spring inside the bigger spring, which several automatic lockers do. I think you can rule out a Torq Locker because it doesn't use two springs, only one. Looks different than my Torq Locker too.

I think you're right. That rectangular window centered on the flat looks pure no-slip to me. The lock right has an oval shaped spring and pin window over on the rounded surface, and the Spartan has a tiny slot with a couple of offset pin holes.
Thanks for your help everyone, very much appreciated. Just had a quick look at the pictures and the square window does look like the Powertrax.
