Rear diff- can’t tell on the pic where it’s leaking, you can try new seals at the sides/axles, but I find that the bearings have play in them and that play causes the leaks. If that’s the case, rebuild diff.

front drivesgaft- actually is the front difftube. Remove and replace needle bearing at end and a new axle shaft seal.

rear driveshaft- replace whole assembly.

Thanks abran.

Do you know of a good resource for completing these projects: haynes manual, link to a land rover mechanic manual?

What fails on the rear driveshaft, never owned a vehicle that failed a driveshaft.

The CV is failing on the rear driveshaft.

There are no good resources I know off for the repairs. There is a factory manual that you can find downloads for, but it won’t help with the diff rebuild.
