Similar issue to what I'm looking into, albeit an LR TD5 into a 200-panelled Pilot. Landrover bell-housing and input shafts are quite long so you may have to look into to selector options to bring the gearstick back in to a sensible position but from a RWD point of view from the gearboxes I have it looks like and hybrid of RWD output shaft and tailhousing is the main bones of the conversion.

The discovery stuff is long but the defender versions are short from what I can see.

If I remember rightly only the old 2.25/2.5 to 200tdi Defender's had the short bellhousing LT77. From the 300tdi the Defender shared the same long bellhousings as the Discovery/Range Rover's with the introduction of the R380.
There is however a conversion kit to rebuild a certain range of later R380's to have shorter than the short bellhousings to be a retrofit into earlier Defender's....
Still doesn't change the fact that it's a major undertaking to attempt converting a 4x4 'box to rwd spec!

Random trivia moment.. I've spent the last 10 years not just working in the same factory but pretty much on the exact same floor area where all these boxes were manufactured so its extra annoying i don't know all this stuff.. I did try asking around but I think everyone who worked on the old pre Tata drive train stuff is long retired now!

Can you not take a 2wd LT77 (sherpa, SD1, TR7) and bolt the short defender 200tdi bell housing on it?
