The XJ40 and X300 are THE SAME. (15 HU same ratios, case studs/bolts with minor differences)
The X308 (14 HU) shares many components EXCEPT for the DIFFERENTIAL.
The X308 (14 HU) has a CENTER-LINE DIFFERENTIAL.
POWERLOK for the 15 HU
OPEN DIFF for the 14 HU.
Much discussion on the forum for the differences!

Thanks much for the information! The differential is making a clunking noise and I'll be changing it out soon. I asked the question because I can get one from a 1996 car fairly easily. I can get one from a X308 but its going to be a bit more of a road trip.
Seems like there's always something going wrong with one of my two cars. Three weeks ago is was a fuel pump on J2, Last week replaced the door check on J3. Couple of months ago had to change the microswitch in the shifter on J2 as the transmission was acting weird.
Now will need to fix or replace the differential on J2. I need another / newer car!

Yeah, it seems it's the punkin making the noises. I got a rear end from a 2002 that looks like it sat for a very long time. Very dirty outside but the interior and seats were in great / clean condition so I would guess it did not have many miles. We'll see. My son will come over Saturday and assist the install. He's a veteran of numerous Jag repairs himself.
I'll let you know how it turns out....

Good day , guys
sorry for hacking this topic but I got a similar question now .
my local jaguar pal got his X300 front ended and totaled by a drunk guy driving WRONG WAY. Thank God his Jag saved his life. I am wondering if X300 rear subframe parts to be transplanted to my X308 (mine is an R) ?

Here is an explanation on how the offset diffs from early cars don't fit in X308s.
