I've seen some sites refer to the Disco Sport as being based on the PLA architecture, which is the lightweight aluminium architecture under the new Range Sport.
However I've understood the Disco Sport to be based on the Evoque and the Evoque makes use of the Ford EUCD platform which is what the old Freelander/LR2 were built on...
Wouldn't be surprised if it's the old freelander/lr2 platform used for this. Not sure if there's any way to confirm this but i'll have a look around. If nothing is out currently, more should come to light later this year or early next year.
