It doesnt weigh 500kg more, the 6x6 I made on my website weighed 2200kg with a steel back and tdi, then when I fitted the cummins and gearbox 2600kg which is less than my d3
landrover 150 6x6

It says 6x4 6x6
IMO that means it should be a permanant 6x4 with selectable drive to the 3rd axle
IIRC most 6x6s are like this, either selectable from a lever if the 3rd axle is driven form the T/B or an air actuator is driven from the 2nd axle.
with a 6x4 you have to be really careful of approach path when off road as they can very quickly go to 6x2 
and can be very embarrassing when you have three axles as people don't realise that only 2 axles are powered
You also find that axle 3 tends to get thru tyres at a fair rate if you are loaded most of the time

can confirm it is a 4x6, 3rd axle is not driven, both the 2nd axle is a 110 salisbury, 3rd a standard rover.

The last axle looks like a series axle (leaf spring perches present) which means the second axle is series too as its the same width track, unless there's spacers maybe.
