Has anyone tried this before ?
Any comments, suggestions, advice, pointers....

As you invited comments, suggestions, advice, pointers....
Here's my two-bits worth.
The rear is definitely a Dana 44. The front is a Dana 27, I think. No reason why it couldn't be just another Dana 44, except that the MM540DP 4x4, uses the same mechanicals as an early 'sixties Jeep CJ-5. (The kind used in the Howard Hawks 1962 movie "Hatari!" starring John Wayne, Hardy Krüger, Elsa Martinelli, Red Buttons).
I'd fitted my Mahindra MM540DP4wd with Warn lockable free-wheeling hubs. That was eons ago.
The petrol Jeeps had 4.27:1 differentials.
The MM540 4wd had 4:88:1 differentials
and the longer wheelbase Commanders have 5:38:1 differentials.
Hope this helps.
