Direct answer

What the official source does—and does not—tell us.

The 2024 Defender XT HD10 specification lists an HMWPE full skid plate under protection and package highlights.

That confirms factory inclusion for the US-market XT HD10—not for every Defender HD10 trim.

The document does not identify individual panel or fastener SKUs.

Installation impact

Conditions visible before part selection.

The specification contains no removal sequence or torque values.
Do not infer panel interchangeability across Defender trims.

Tradeoffs

Why guessing is expensive.

Factory coverage may make a second full kit unnecessary.
Replacement decisions still require panel-level identification and inspection.

Safer alternatives

Resolve the configuration before ordering.

Replace only damaged OEM panels after VIN lookup.
Compare aftermarket coverage only after mapping existing factory protection.
Ask a dealer for the current underbody diagram.
