I'll handle the axle and diff end of the question. If you buy a Range Rover Classic that was made from mid year 1993 on, you'll most likely have 24 spline axles and diffs. If on the other hand, you get one from earlier in the production run, you will have the 10 spline set up.
Now, if you buy a RRC that had ABS, you will be able to just slide the axles in through the hubs and swap out the old 10 spline diff for the 24 spline on out of your Disco and you should be good to go. However, if you buy a RRC that didn't have ABS, you'll also need the hubs and stub axles from you Disco as well. You may also need the swivels from the Disco as well when dealing with non ABS RRC's.
The rear diff will be a different matter. Since the rear diff on the Disco is set up with a flange designed to accept the rotoflex, you will need to remove that flange and find the proper flange for a u-joint. The other alternative is to leave the diff alone and swap the rear prop shaft from the Disco. Go to discoweb.org and check in the tech section for details on the rotoflex/u-joint swap.
One other thing about switching the transfer case. You'll need the front prop shaft off the Disco because the one out of a Borg Warner equipped RRC will not work.
I'm sure others will add to the thread with a number of things I forgot to mention.
