For a '92 4.3 Griff, are these standard Range Rover 3.9 EFi parts?

I believe so,

you'll need the cork type as opposed to the newer moulded silicone type.(the newer type rocker cover seals differently on the head)

yes, just quote 3.5 rover of your year.

cork types are recommended generally, tho they have to be stuck on to stop them swelling and imploding.

neoprene (rubber ones) will fit with some messing about. the TVR rocker covers are thicker, so they don't fit in the groove man but will with some effort.

go for the cork...its safer!

neoprene are better but ALOT more effort.

Stick the cork items into the rocker cover using sealant then they will be easy to fit to the engine

Bugger!

I've already ordered silicone!

Oh well, expect even the simplest jobs to be typically TVR and I'm never disapointed....

Thanks.

The silicone ones are re-usable (I think). You can still glue them into the rocker covers

...and if you fit the silicon ones you'll probably not have to do the job again - the original cork ones on mine had just disintegrated under the nasty conditions, so wouldn't the silicon be a better bet?
