The answer is if you have a defender up to 300tdi then ep90gl4 (80/90) will do but must be gl4
Td5 onward is gl5

Diffs EP 80/90. But definately NOT in transfer box. Automatic transmission fluid in that.

Your P38 is not a Disco. Discos also used automatic transmission fluid in the manual gearboxes at one time. Only when Honda became involved with Rover was the MTF94 used. It is a Honda spec oil.
I use 75W90 as per handbook and RAVE

I assume we're talking a P38 here? Thread seemed to get a bit confused. P38 final drive units 75W 90R according to RAVE. ATF Dexron III in transfer box and auto gearbox. MTF94 in manual gearbox.

They won't post to France:doh: Locally, I can only get 80W90, just a bit more drag but it won't do any harm.

On a vehicle with the aerodynamics profile of a block of flats i can't see 80/90 as opposed to 75/90 making a lot of difference.
