The chassis where the bumpers fit on are the same, however the RRC bumper is probably the wrong shape for a discovery. Either it would look odd or need a fair bit of altering to fit right.

From memmory the front of the bodies are signifcatly different, fitting RRC grill and round headlights may be possible but highly unlikely to be just a simple nut&bolt job.

Seen it done, the inner wings are the same pressings but the front panel curves differnelty and ther Disco is narrower but longer so it looks odd without some effort, but you can add the whole front panel to a Disco then graft on the RRC lights, there is enough build tolerance to accomodate the difference in body widths too.

That looks pretty goo doesn't it :D and I reckon with some care about penal gaps you could get the same effect on the bonnet to wing joint that the Disco has along the doors and rear corners (the swage line).
