Help to identify my axles please.

Hello forum members,
Is it possible to identify what my axles have come off?
I bought my 90 with the intention to strip it down and rebuild.
Its a 1990 vehicle with solid discs all round. Ive scraped the paint away to try and find any identification numbers but nothing has stood out yet.
I’ll take some photos of any areas on the axles if it helps the experts.
Thanks for your help
Mike

Probably disco 1 axles, straight swap to a 90 and disc braked.

What makes you think they aren't the original axles? The 1990 Ninety came with solid discs.

No Pappasmurf, Míne is a 1990 90 and has drums on the rear and had the smaller front calipers. [ now has 110 calipers, an easy bolt on upgrade for early 90's ] What engine Mike ?

Someone may have done a disc conversion.

Oh and I have an 89 Ninety with discs all round, on original axles.

You never know for shure with Land Rover of old, they often used up stuff left over in the parts bin even after official changes were made.

I doubt very much its on the original axles then if its discs all round at that age. Yes it might be an aftermarket conversion but I bet it left the factory with drums

It was originally a 19j, it had a 200tdi in it when i bought it and now has a 3.9 v8

Its been messed about with quite a lot over the years.

Unless you are the first owner of these 30 something year old vehicles, it's pretty much impossible to know what has been done. Rear drums were certainly standard fitment on some defenders in 1990 - I had one.

ok guys, bit of an update for you.
the front and rear axles have integral drive flanges and I think that they are the thick ones.
does this shed some light?

Everything seems to point towards early discovery axles with 10 spline shafts.
Can anyone confirm this?

Probably.

Most likely.

Photos??

I’ve searched and searched and can confirm that they are definitely Early disco 1 / range rover classic 10 spline axles with the stubby outer shaft with integral drive flange.

Question:
Are they any better/stronger than newer axles? 300tdi, td5, tdci ?

No, but there is not a lot in it.
