Brake load sensing valve

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

I've no idea how the linkage can be defective but function not impaired!
The valve has a lever that connects to a little bracket on the diff casing via a spring. As the axle goes down it moves the lever and cuts off the fluid to the rear brakes. The bracket is adjusted to give the correct tension on the spring when the axle is unloaded.
If the car has extended springs, the bracket requires adjustment, or something fabricating.
The pipe from the primary (front) brakes is so if the front brakes fail the valve allows all the pressure in the secondary (rear) circuit to reach the brakes, and you hope that the thing will still stop. The bleed screw is for the front circuit as there is no exit from that primary pipe.
I'm surprised you have one with the 2-tone paint, I thought they were all ABS by then.
I heard that the valve itself is no longer available, the one from a Nissn Navara looks like it could be made to fit, the Mitsubishi ones have the lever facing the other way.

You will have to have a look underneath to see what "defective linkage means" .
Could be the spring, or the axle bracket or the lever on the valve. Like I said, I can't see how it can be defective yet still work.
