Paddocks list 2 different part numbers for series 1 discoveries, though from what I've see the mountings are the same and some of the aftermarket manufactures just make one part number for the rear of all series one discoveries.

If its a case of 'can I put 200TDi dampers on a 300TDi' or vise versa, then I should think so. However something like the damping characteristics may be different so I would make sure both dampers are either one or the other, not mixed.

Any idea what the difference is , my 200 is 94 and seems to have later axles , I've got the chance of some shocks but not sure what model their off .

Had a search , the only difference I can see is that the bottom mount uses a different bush setup , so I can't see it being a problem.

I took the 300 axle of my truck and replaced it with a 200 unit. I kept the same shocks without issue.
