Do the "early" and "late" WC-53 trucks have the same axles accept for the differential?

I need to get a front differrential and both axle shafts for the front. Before I buy the parts, I was wondering if the axle shafts are different or just the differntial. My WC has the early 8 3/4" ring gear in the rear and I have found a complete matching 8 3/4" differential for the front. I have also found a good deal on both axle shafts but they are for the later 9 5/8" ring gear differential.

Does anyone know if the shafts are the same, or are the early/late specific?

Any help is appreciated fromthis newbie.
