I don't see what you mean. They could have used one bevel gear at the spur and one bevel gear at one single centre shaft if both shafts are to run in the same direction. Splitting the shaft into two pieces and adding two gears makes no sense to me. The reason why they're on the car, the offset of the shafts, could easily have been removed in the design.

It would be more useful carrying around your spares inside the car so you have them with you when needed than using them in the drivetrain and having them wear down while you carry them around in your car
