disco box fits but the gearstick is in a different position even if you get it to fit its still r380 not sure it will make any difference, I think you probably need to change the transfer box for a notable difference. some body with more knowledge will hopefully correct me if I am wrong.

Check out Ashcroft Transmissions on-line...
They upgraded my transfer box from 1:4 up to 1:22 (Disco spec)... cruises much quieter.

what size tyres are you running? as that comes into the equation
tyres size you know the black round things. not the wheels/rims
Because if you change to larger than stock (outside dia) it will affect your gearing. so if you got to 265 75,16's or 285 75 16's then you 1.4 transfer would be right for highway/ if you stay stock size 235. 85 you would be better with a 1.2 transfer box
here is a link to give you a idea as to dia of different size tyres

Ive been running a disco transfer box with 33x12.50x15 and its been fine
Just going by what i have read on a transmission specialist site that has a calculator for gear ratios taking in the info of tyre size, engine, transmission, and rear diff ration all into there equation.
Low range is all the same ratio in all transfer boxes

Mine drives fine, the speedo reads about 2-3mph fast, in 5th i gain about 10mph at the same revs
