I think the ones on my disco are 13 or 14mm multi-hex (ring end of the spanner)

Can't help with the size off he top of my head but if I remember right you will need a socket I don't think a ring spanner will fit on the bolts due to the shape of the caliper

13mm socket with an extension on my 95 disco

12-14 mm bihex (there are aftermarket shoulder bolts that fit and may have been substituted at some point)

you will need to use a socket and breaker bar on the fronts as you cant usually get a spanner in with enough room to swing.

From memory my deep reach sockets on the end of a breaker bar fit perfectly, dont forget to turn the steering so that the end of the bar sticks out clear of the guards.

Yeah,they are strange looking things,must be bihex,never heard of them before.

13mm double hex (12 point) normal socket required, short ext and a ratchet and you are away! Don't forget to loctite them on reassembly!
