The yellow line indicates the distance between the middle of the two nuts. 100mm plu or minus a millimeter or two.

Definitely Landrover, Series or 90/110, but probably Series, and probably LWB - 5.5" width. It does not fit your Disco 2 but you can use as a spare a wheel off any Series Landrover 1948 - 83, any 90/110/Defender 1984 - 2006 plus Classic Rangerover and Disco 1 (although some alloy wheels may not fit, and some may need the centre modified), but probably best to get one the same as you have - it will have a part number stamped on it, try and get one the same. Any four wheel drive wrecker would be able to supply at least one of these, certainly any Landrove specialist such as Land Vehicle Spares.
I could supply one the same, but I am a bit far away and I am sure you could do better closer to home. I'd be surprised if you could not get one in Wollongong.
Changing to match the Disco 2 is possible but would be much more expensive.

Yes they are Series IIA/III rims. Can't tell if LWB (5.5" wide) or SWB (5") but probably LWB. The hubs have a 5 on 6.5" (diameter) pattern (also known as PCD - pitch circle diameter). Every LR from 1948 had/had this PCD, except the last 2-3 models of RR, the D2 and D3, and the freeloader. The D2 (and most others) has a PCD of 5 on 125mm.

Tanks guys, got a old Tdi rim and tyre from a mate and did a test and fits perfect.
Issue solved.
