No, its a Twin V pattern - All new. A first of its type.
FFS Neil, that was an advert! Don't believe them!
The block is virtually the same, just a few tweaks here and there. 'All New' is a few different bits bolted on. The turbo arrangement was the first on a V engine (apparently), but I don't see why it's special just because they've moved it from an in-line to a V. And it went on the Jag first Disco 5 HSE Lux

Going back to the topic for a moment, wasn't the design brief for the D3 that you could park it in 70cm of water overnight and start up and drive off in the morning?
How are the new leccy bits more waterproof than these old ones?
