Common with this "model"? They are all the exact same engine, from 1989 upto 2004, same same, exact same block and heads, guts too.
Only difference is the pre-'96's use a dizzy (distributor) and the bore and stroke are changed as the engine gets "bigger", thats why if you pay attention when shopping for parts on Rover parts web sites they will say "fits years '94-'04"
The first Disco was sold in '89 but not sold in the US until '94.
Anyway...if the oil psi is dropping as soon as the rpms climb then I say its a weak oil pump.
It would not be a bad idea to do a engine flush first and then replace the oil pump gears.
And then use a good oil filter, like a MANN and good motor oil, like diesel oil.

it's hard to say. I tried heavy duty diesel engine oil and multiple flushes and stuff on mine, before I had the gears changed out.... but my light only came on at idle, and I didn't really have a problem, other than a bad switch.
You could always pull the valve covers and see if it's pretty sludged up.
I wouldn't drive it for too long with low oil pressure, so the flush might be kind of hard to do.

Well... I went about it wrong.... after I threw way too much money at it, I tested the pressure myself, and it was fine. So I'm not sure if it ever needed the gears.
