"Currently I connected the step down transformer through a relay to the high side battery positive, and to the ground of the frame (which is connected to the low side negative). Is there an issue with this" .
I am not that familiar to the BJ75 wiring system , but , assuming that it works the same way every 24volt European spec Land Cruiser does , I strongly suspect that with that setup ( and that is a very well thought set up anyway ) , sooner or later one of the batteries will be out of balance , and then only one of them will be charged correctly . As a result , both batteries have to be replaced .
You can use the Ignition on/keyed 24v point at that small black box to power the 24-12 volt transformer . I think it has the 15 or 20 amps fuse ( please check ) , so that should have enough power to do that . If possible , completely avoid connecting anything directly to any of the batteries .
