Discovery V8i rear axle same as 300?

Hey all

Been searching around and couldn't find any thread on this

Just been to the scrap yard looking for a discovery axle for my Defender.
My dad has done this using a 300tdi Disco rear axle, and kept the rubber coupling. There is a V8i ES Discovery in the scrapyard, the plates are off so I don't know the exact age, but the interior is the same as a 300tdi Disco, also there is a UJ rather than a rubber coulping which makes life easier.

Are the diff ratios on the V8 Disco axles the same as the diesel ones?
If so it will do nicely, only £80 with good calipers

Cheers guys, any info is greatly appreciated

Diff ratios are the same, you just need to make sure the splines are.
