the ujoint section of a 240 manual is the same length as a 300Turbo car, but the diameter is substantially smaller. I'll bet the SD is different as well.
Yes, the CD is also shorter than a standard 123 sedan too. I am not sure which shaft is shorter in the CD front or rear.

I wouldn't be surprised if the SD shaft is the same on one of the halfs but, you never know.
