Default Can you identify this Disco II?

Hello all, I recently picked up a 2000 Disco II that had been rolled. It has some characteristics that are not like my other three, and I was wondering if I could have some help IDing this Rover. Here are the peculiar features:

1) Rims that I have not seen before. They look like the factory option "Lightning" style rims. Is this true?
2) SD model that has dual sunroofs. Also marked "Special Vehicles" on front wings. (dealer labeled over slightly)
3) Non-premium sound system. I've seen examples in the manual of this. Has one less speaker on each front door and the subwoofer is replaced by another rear-door pocket.
4) Cloth interior
5) Light-colored seat. (Alpaca?) White exterior (Chawton White?)
6) VIN starts with SALTL, not the SALTY that other models have

Is this a NAS model or an import? I thought all NAS models had different door panels (most with wood trim), premium sound, SALTY VINs, and the SD models didn't have sunroofs. Any input would be great! Thanks so much.

other than the $4 special vehicle sticker it looks like a reg. SD.
base radio, base interior, cloth/vinyl, the only thing unusual is the roofs.
i have one of those wheels as a spare I forget what they were called

Looks standard to me, hope you got it for a song!

Sunroofs are potentially a dealer added item like the Hunter RRCs used to have.

Just a regular old D2.

The wheels are called "Stratos"

FWIW, I own 2 SD's with sunroofs.

Default Thanks, more info to ponder?

Thanks everyone so far,

I've only seen Alpaca used with black (think 03-04 HSE models, right?)… anybody know something for sure about the interior? Is there another light color that it could be? It's most certainly lighter than my tan with dark piping that you see in most Discos.

Under the hood (now that I pried it open again to take a picture) is standard with a few typical mods. (Like that cone to suck water directly into the intake while wading... ) But please note the Service Campaign tags… anybody know about these? Dealer stuff, or event company promo/usage stuff?

Responding to the various contributors:
So SD means nothing in relation to sunroofs. Thanks for SD owners confirming that. The rims are Stratos, thanks WNYErikDiscoII, and the VIN means little to nothing, thanks capped. drowssap tells me that all the radio/cloth and stuff is nothing special too. ZGPhoto, I picked it up for about scrap value. And since I drove it home without any problems (aside from the very effective air conditioning), I think this is one of my better buys. I'm going to use almost all the parts, but if you're in the upstate New York area, PM if there is something you want.

Default Recall & Misc

So should I be thankful or worried that none of my other Rovers have these tags? Thanks for clearing that up though. I wonder what was recalled. I guess the "Special Vehicle" tags are really just a used car sales tool.

If anybody knows for sure about the Alpaca, let me know.

One additional thing, how bad do you think the frame is considering the roll over? I know there is no absolute answer, but is there anyplace that is likely to bend? I was thinking of scooting this frame under another body...

Thanks to all who have helped so far.
