I dont know, I do know that the DI diff plugs are the same as the DII diff plugs, except they are brass and not cheap plastic like on the DII.

Make the one time investment and buy these. They're magnetic and will pick up any metal shavings in your diff.

Check the local salvage yards for junked DI's.
Take your drain plug to the parts store and try to match one up, the drain plug is the same as the fill plug.

If you are talking about replacing your plastic fill plugs:

I used these:
Radiator Brass Plug Ref: ERR4686B
RovahFarm for all your new Land Rover Parts and Accessories

from Rovahfarm. they are $3.99 each. the o-rings are a separate item.

Actually they aren't. Different sizes.
