 From the 1982 Jeep Service Manual, page 2D-22 Transfer Case:
--------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL:
	The model 219 Quadra-Trac transfer case provides
four-wheel high and low ranges, a neutral position and a
four-wheel high-lock position for use when the vehicle is
immobile due to excessive wheel spin.

	Model 219 provides full-time, fully differentiated
operation in 4H range only.  The 4L and Lock ranges
provide undifferentiated drive modes.  In 4H range,
differentiation is accomplished through a torque biasing
viscous coupling and an open differential connected to the
coupling.  Two drive sprockets and an interconnecting
drive chain are used to distribute input torque.

...uses ATF...

I'll see if I can find the blurb on the NP229.

hopefully this clarifies a few things...
