Default Need help identifying axle

I have a frankenrover. The shell is a '73, but it has a 300 TDI, a 5-speed, and coil sprung axles. I asked the guy who did the work what axles he used and he couldn't remember. This work was done in '97. They could be from a defender, but he thought maybe a Range Rover.

I looked on the axle for numbers but couldn't find any. Do I need to look harder?

Thanks guys. I do believe it is from a Range Rover Classic. I'm about to get new springs and shocks so I wanted to make sure I was getting the right ones. Right now I'm looking at Terrafirma. Seems like you can't go wrong with OME, Terrafirma, or Bilstein. Anyone got strong opinions on this?

Easy - moderate off roading. Also as a semi-regular go-to-work vehicle. Nothing extreme. I have a hard top but not a whole lot of extra weight.
