Series 3 109 2600cc

Hi, I have a Series 3 109 2600cc built in the Blackheath Plant South Africa. It was originally supplied to the South African Air Force but doesn't appear to have a military chassis. There's none of the obvious signs like Square rear cross member, removable gearbox crossmemer and longer leaf shackles.
So I assume its a standard chassis, my question is were the South Afican chassis the same as UK ones as I need to replace some sections. The chassis number does come up as a standard 109 2600cc.

you could take a few measurements to confirm from the LR workshop manual chassis dimensions

Thanks Steve
She's got an amazing history, left the SA Air Force in 1993 and everything is documented since then, only been here for a year.
Whats your Landy?

Mines an 84 series 3, which I’ve had for maybe 15 years, I put a 200di in about 3 years ago and rebuilding the original 2286 now, I keep on refurbing bits over time with little improvements, makes it an enjoyable drive, the furthest I went was the NC500 about 4 years ago and most challenging was the Gatesgarth pass last month
