Default locker question

I was poking around under my xj and noticed that i have air lines attached to my differentials, but they are both cut. So i either have air lockers, it had air lockers, or a previous owner was a complete tool and wanted it to look like he had air lockers. There is no compressor, i cant find a where a compressor could have been mounted but there is a switch that could have been attached to a compressor.

I know I need to open the differentials to check but i don't know what I'm looking for, I do know what the stock gears look like though.

Nothing was mentioned about lockers when you were in the process of buying it?

Yes pics and where do they go just up for a vent? I have both of my vents extended to keep warer and mud out of them.

This is getting interesting. Hard to imagine the seller not mentioning lockers. ESPECIALLY ARB's.

Don't know if it means much but in the pics I've seen(including their web site) of ARB air line it's blue not yellow. Be nice to see a pic of just where the line enters the diff housing or just pull the covers and take a peak.
