Open.
Rear can be LS or open, front is only open.

AFAIK, no Explorer of any generation has been built from the factory with anything other than an open front differential. However, that is not to say that one cannot be installed.

Thanks MrQ. Would you happen to know if the spline count is 27? It was not totally clear to me as I thought my "super" 30 Dana meant I had an upgrade to a spline count of 30 but it I think it is only 27....

Per rockauto, 3rd and 4th gens have a 27 spline Dana 30. I don't believe they are "Super" 30's.
