This is a North American model. I have also come across several G4 owners who mention having a 5 speed and others with a 4 speed.
Here was the press release for the g4:
"Off-road capability is at the core of the Land Rover G4 Edition Discovery. The combination of a 4.6 liter, 217hp V8 engine, five-speed automatic transmission, two-speed transfer case with locking center differential, four-wheel electronic traction control (ETC), and Self-Leveling Suspension (SLS) give the Discovery G4 Edition it's greatest off-road capability ever.
“With this vehicle, we will capture the excitement of the event in a limited edition,” said Greg Gilliland, Discovery model manager. "The G4 Edition Discovery is a vehicle designed specifically with the off-road enthusiast in mind and its capabilities are being showcased throughout the G4 Challenge."

Seems odd that every press release about the 2004 Discovery G4 mentions a five speed trans. I would think that is the kind of typo LR would catch before sending out the release........

I hear you, but Microcat says there were two, and under the G4 edition sub-category it lists all the parts for those vehicles, still a ZF or R380.
Event trucks had some differences, but a transmission wasn't one of them. I've been in 3 G4s myself, while I never got up to speed to get into a 5th gear, I'm pretty positive it was the standard ZF.

To the best of my knowledge, the D2 whether ordinary or G4 has a 4 forward gear autobox or a 5 speed manual box. To extrapolate, that is 4 forward and 1 reverse in the auto and 5 forward and 1 reverse in the manual box which is doubled in both cases by the transfer box low range. I may be wrong, I often am, but I've never heard of a D2 with any more gears as standard.
Now the D3 and D4 are different again but that's another story.
