Yes....

One off a 90 will be a straight swap....

One off a 110 (will be a later none Salisbury axle) - will also fit, but you will need to change the spring mounts for the ones off you current axle, and you will need a custom length prop (although a front one off a 200Tdi Defender isn't too far off).

For both axles - you will ideally need late spec rear dampers - as the mount on the axle differs from that of your 200Tdi.

A disco axle will also fit (straight swap) - unless you use one off a 300Tdi....

If you use a 300Tdi jobbie, you will need to change the diff output flange for a four bolt jobbie (as a 300Tdi Disco uses a 3 bolt arangement with a rubber doughnut) - you should just be able to swap the flange for the one off your current rear diff.

The rear damper mount.... instead of having a flat mounting (as per your 200), the axle also incorporates a cup for the rubber bush (bushes are also a slightly different shape). In saying that, if you play around with the rubbers (and washers) you should be able to re-use your dampers (but won't be 100% ideal)

Just to add that it takes about 20 mins to drill out spot welds and chisel off these cups.
