Identify Driveline

Identify Driveline
Can someone identify my driveline parts. Was told they the axles,ds’s, and tcase were d90 parts when purchased. This doesn’t make much sense to me after some research. This is my first LR and I’m excited to dig in.
Absence of rear rubber guibo, so I’m lead to believe something has been changed.
And a little before and after up to this point of the truck!
The day I picked it up.
After some tlc.

If it's a kosher facelift D2 someone previously has changed the rear driveshaft for 2# UJ's instead of a Rotoflex at the diff end.
It's normally 1# at the handbrake drum and 1 # Rotoflex at the diff end.
At the front end you have a double Cardan (Hookes) joint at the transfer box and a single UJ at the diff end. This driveshaft has a tendency to wear and break if not greased and serviced which puts a catastrophic hole through your auto transmission.

My advice is for you, as now a fully paid up member of the D2 club, to download a copy of the LR RAVE workshop manual on this forum and read it carefully (bedtime reading) as it explains quite a lot about the D2. (I'm sure many knowledgeable guys will ask you questions on it in due course )
PS: that big chunk of iron attached to the rear diff is a harmonic balance so don't be tempted to remove it unless you really enjoy vibes 24/7.
PPS: Nice looking truck you've got hold of.

The rear driveshaft has been converted from the factory rotoflex to a u-joint, which is what I'd assume they're talking about. The rest looks like factory correct parts, though I don't know if there was any crossover. I'd assume there is, so they could be out of a defender, but it's still Disco correct parts from what I can tell at a glance.
You've got a lot of flaky rust under there on the frame and springs.

I was under the assumption the front had been upgraded already. (Grease fittings on front and rear UJs and one on the shaft.)
Rusty for sure. Wasn’t interested in leaving the state to get a non rusted example. Wanted a cheap/fun commuter. At 5600 bucks I’m happy. Just needed some tlc with maintenance being brought up to date.
