If they were interchangeable I'd only sell one of them. Why would I stock
two different parts when one would do both jobs?  A Vanagon is wider than a
bus; hence the axle shaft must be longer in order to reach from the
transaxle to the wheel. This is why the axle shaft is different even though
the CV joint is the same. Also the shaft differs for an auto trans model
versus a manual trans one.
