450SL XK8
After picking up my new drive shafts in the US last week I have discovered that the US and UK drive shafts have different part numbers

450SL US version is 1073504310 - overall length is 635mm (also used on Euro 280SL)

450SL UK version is 1073504210 - overall length is 625mm

1) Does anyone know which bit of the drive shaft is longer?

2) If it is the hub spline that is longer/shorter, does anyone know if there is any chance the longer one can be used on the UK 450SL?

3) if I can not use them on my UK450SL, is there anyone out there who wants them for their 280SL?
