Milky oil from the front diff: has any Thar here shown it after a water crossing?

Our club piece on Jimny owners fixing water in the front diff with extended breathers has been sitting in my head, because my Thar wades through the same slush those cars do.

What owners report there is simple and nasty. Front diff oil drains out milky while the rear looks perfectly fine, and the finger points at the breather pulling water in once mud packs around it. Nothing official has come out saying this is a defect, and the Jimny service and fluid guides say milky or coffee coloured oil means change it immediately rather than waiting for the 40,000 km slot.

Now I want Tribe data. Has anyone here cracked a diff or transfer case plug on their own Thar and found cloudy oil? Year, variant, kilometres please, plus whether it followed a river crossing or a pressure wash, and what your dealer told you when you showed them the drain pan.
