They are made by different manufacturers, obviously. one would have to consult the relevant Technical manual. Both made Jeeps during the War. Willys continued to produce them post-war and also evolved the Jeepster and other spin offs . Ford returned to domestic civil auto production, though may have made M38a1"s for the Armed Forces. The Land Rover, while a Jeep type vehicle, is a British derivative by the Rover motor company- and NOT strictly speaking a Jeep. There are rumors that a Rolls-Royce engined Land Rover was custom made for Queen Elizabeth II, who was a wartime Jeep Jockey.
There is no difference. They are both made to military specifications and the parts are interchangeable.

Who invented jeep?
The Jeep was invented in 1941 for the U.S. Military by The American Bantam car company. The final production was awarded to Willys as the military felt Bantam was too small a company to produce the necessary numbers needed. Ford also built the Jeep for the military using the Willys plans. Bantam, which was the inventor, produced only trailers for the Army and never made the Jeep. Willys called their Jeep the Model MB and Ford called theirs the Model GPW. Jeep was never a name the military used. It was only a nickname in the beginning.
