Curved bracing section on bulkhead under the bonnet near the coil, together with steel single-hole radiator panel and floor mounted dip switch all say 88 to me.
(one day rivet-counting will be an Olympic sport!)

Do you have any photos showing the front section of the chassis where the bumper bar bolts on?
i can take some now if you like
anything in particular you are lookin for??
It seems the numbers and other bits of 'evidence' you are finding don't agree with each other.
It's not unusual for landies to have parts from several different models, but a good challenge to try and work out what it started life as.
If it is an 86 inch the chassis members will protrude a couple of inches past the front of the spring hanger. If 88 inch, they will be almost flush.
See what you can see
the chassis number is on the chassis rail above the leaf hanger on the left rear
ill have another look soon
here it is best i can do with my phone

Get a fine flat (wide) file and lightly file the LH end where the number is stamped. By removing some of the surface, you may be able to identify the remains of the missing digits.
Must be flat and ever so lightly, to not damage what's left.
just measure between the axles:p
