Personally, I'd go with the black leather trim on the '19 plate Landmark, especially if it has the black roof lining to go with it...as a farmer, the cream bare-bum coloured leather seats were never practical...Being a landmark model, it *should* have all the end of line (pre 2020 facelift) optional extras fitted as well.
Besides that, there's not much to pick from between those 2 apart from the price and the age so it's mostly down to personal preferences. Perhaps compare the service and MOT history's if that interests you (check for any fails and advisories on the MOT history)... as I mentioned, I'd prefer the Indus silver with the black pack...but that's just my own personal aesthetics.
Coming from a Carpathian grey '15 plate SDV6 HSE D4, I went for my '17 plate TD6 HSE D5 since it ticked all my boxes with mileage, trim and equipment levels I was looking for (it has practically every factory fitted optional package available at the time except for an electrically deployable towhook)...had a good service history and clean MOT's throughout and especially having the black roof lining, black leather, side steps...and my wife demanded a centre cubby box cooler since we had one in the D4
I was torn between 3 possibles at the time, all similar price and mileage, all located in deepest Englandshire which meant either a very long trip to view and buy or a remote sales process which isn't for the faint of heart... a pair of very nice '18 plate SDV6 HSE Lux's, one Indus silver, one Carpathian grey and the Fuji white '17 plate TD6 HSE that won out in the end...the deciding factors being that I have a mild dislike of full digital dashboards (mine has analogue speedo and tacho) and I really didn't need rear seat entertainment...
The final decider, the dealer was extremely patient with my demands for detailed live video walkarounds during the remote sales process, stuck a fresh MOT on it and agreed to deliver it from the Midlands to Aberdeen free of charge. Can't ask for more than that...

Is that really a thing? I had no mention of it from any insurer when I went fishing for renewal quotes in February...or perhaps it's just not applicable or relevant for my geographical postcode?
When I bought my '17 plate D5 last November, I just transferred it onto my then current policy I had for the D4...I had to pay £50 for the changeover on the remaining term for the policy... which I renewed end of February like I mentioned.
I know from a recent thread on this forum about the option of LR's own pay-as-you-go insurance, I was really taken aback by some of the renewal quotes mentioned by others since none of the quotes I got from any of the major high street insurers was over £500 fully comp with a couple (Tesco and Admiral) being under £400
Taking an average from all the quotes I was offered, insuring the D5 worked out roughly £75-£100 more expensive annually fully comp than the D4 in my case...
