I think it will be an R380, that's what 300tdi defenders had. There's a guide to gearbox identification on Ashcroft's site

Does the noise go away when you put your foot on the clutch while still in motion? If so, it could be the clutch, if not then geabox. It could just be the clutch release bearing.

Why not take a trip over to Landrover Heaven just north of Largs, for a third opinion.
He may also have a second hand R380 in stock if that's what you need.
