Magna Steyr ITC 2 speed transfer case
I’m digging around looking for a new chain for my EORP transfer case and I have discovered that they are made by Magna Steyr and are common to land rovers.
Could be so simple as to pull a DD 295 transfer case out of a wrecked Land Rover 2004+ and slap it in to my 2007 x164 with a EORP GL?
A chain is about 150 bucks and a lot of scraped knuckles, while I can get a dd295 box from LKQ for around 250 shipped.

Tried and failed. It’s the same back half and innards but the front mounting flange on the 2006+ LR ITC is different. Everything else appears the same.
back to the drawing board.

Yes, but then you’re already splitting the case which is what you need to do to get the old chain out anyway; so six of one or 1/2 a dozen of the other, might as well just buy replacement chain then.
The case is split into two as a front half in the back, half and the cursory inspection reveals the front half to be different (it’s an innie, not an outie) , but the back half the same. You’d split take the back half off to get at the chain.

There is a great post somewhere on the interweb of a RR transfer case being stripped down.
I also have a copy of the RR manual that covers the transfer case repairs if you are interested. Noting it's not exactly the same, but at lease RR went to the effort of detailing it as a serviceable component.

For what it’s worth, all the components on the outside, and the inside of each flavor transfer case are still labeled Magna Steyr.
it’s basically that Mercedes and Land Rover each bought a their own version of it, while LanRover’s philosophy is to make their parts as serviceable as possible; Mercedes’ is not.
