Receiver hitch

The 2" and 2 5/16" is referring to the size of the ball. The hitch and any accessories must be type approved for the vehicle but there's nothing in UK law that restricts the use of a 2 inch receiver hitch if it is type approved.
Just had a look, it's a OEM Landrover multi height towbar (part no. VUB000720). Supplied and fitted by Landrover from new!

From another tow bar site
Additionally, US 2" and 2 5/16" towballs are not Type Approved and should not be used in conjunction with Type Approved vehicles. They can however be used with non Type Approved vehicles which include all special import vehicles from Japan and America and UK commercial vehicles including all vans and pick-ups.
