Ferodo probably.
I think the LR OEM semi metallic pads are made by Ferodo.
Below is a link to an Excel file I made up re part numbers and the like for my 2005 LR3 with the petrol 4.4L V8. You can modify the file to suit your 3 as you wish.
Rather than the OEM semi metallic pads, I installed Akebono ceramic pads. They stop OK and as anticipated, no black dust. For rotors, I used what were called Euro brand solid vented rotors, (not drilled, not grooved), which work OK, but to my surprise, lack the anti rust coating of the LR part number rotors. When one looks thru the wheel spokes, one sees a shiny rotor where the pads rub, but the rest of the rotor hub looks like old railroad track. I guess one gets what one pays for - there are no deals.

I have been quite pleased with my EBC Rotors and Pads. The rotors have lasted 80k so far. I have replaced the pads a few times, I get a light turn on the rotor at each fitting to ensure smooth fade / wobble free braking. Compared to the 20k the original rotors got, I cannot complain at all.
