Front driveshaft identification
That looks like an OE LR Drive Shaft with greasable MOOG 344 U joints.
Not really the strongest U joint on the planet( OK for on road/DD). And not a fan of those long zerks. With the drive shaft/suspension fully articulated (like with a lifted truck) they tend to hit the drive shaft yokes (don't ask how I know this
).Those zerks should also be in the opposite direction/phase of each other.

You might also want to grab some new drive shaft bolts and locknuts. It's a good thing to do, plus the nuts @ the transfer case look like they are starting to round off.
The bolts are 1 1/8" X 3/8" UNF(don't use coarse thread hardware) part #509045P and the nut part # NZ606041L. You can also get a complete hardware kit (DA1123) > Range Rover Discovery Defender Driveshaft Drive Shaft Bolt Nut
Many places sell this kit, like L8 on ebay > https://www.ebay.com/itm/Land-Rover-...4383.l4275.c10

For years I have only used fine threaded hardware for drive shafts on LRs and other vehicles that have a ton more horsepower and torque. Are you going to be fine with coarse threaded hardware, probably but my 1st choice is fine threads.
It's your call.
