Early RRC had one shock behind the axle, fillers plugs in the diffs (which had imperial bearings) and single peice 10 spline halfshafts.

EFi onwards axles had 2 shocks ahead of the axle, metric diffs with no filler plug but retained the halfshafts

ABS axles then had 2 piece halfshafts secured IIRC with metric bolts, different stub axles for the ABS sensor and sensor rings bolted inside the disks

300 TDi were then 24 spline with single piece halfshafts (but flatter heads) and a rubber flex joint on the propshaft.

200 TDi Defenders had drum brakes, 2 piece shafts and 10 spline metric diffs.  The centre of the hub sticks out too far for a RRC alloy wheel to fit successfully because the bearings are further apart in the hub and the driveshaft/drive member stick out further.

300 TDi Defnder would be 24 spline but by then able to fit an alloy wheel, so I'm not sure how distinct they are.

All later axles had ARB mounts

if you need a part for it. there is a number on the axle, it will be as you look at the car standing in front to the right of the diff, the number is done in dots and can be hard to see if there is rust ,so look hard, a land rover agent  can tell you about the axle from this number  (rogers of bedford)

Very true, but I've never seen a rear axle I could read the number on.  The front is as different matter, all that engine oil :-.
