Trouble with landrovers they are very sensitive to brake drum diameter.
It will chatter like mad unless you wrap it with lead ,for £20 odd a drum not worth it

If you machine out brake drums you'll need over size linings. Dont know where you'd get them nowadays. (unless someone knows better)Better to have new ones.
