Good friendamine offered me one like it for free a few years back when the steering box broke... 

I bought a factory manual and a steering box rebuild kit for it, then lucked into a spare engine and gearbox from one that went to the crusher before I could save it...

My fren gave it to his son instead, who said he really really wanted it...and it's still sitting, dead.

Well I never knew about this Honda Disco! What are the identifying features that distinguish it from the original LR badged one?

honda badges and maybe a very slightly different grille/steering wheel to fit the badge onto

Badge position. The original had the lettering across the front of the hood, which this one doesn't.
