300TD wagon versus 300D floor pan size

I know the rear doors are different on a 300D sedan versus a 300TD wagon Have a wagon with some rear floor pan rust Would like to get a set of clean floor pans to weld in Does anyone know if the rear floor pans are the same size in both vehicles? My guess is wagon may be shorter.

I cut the floor out of a 240D and welded it in to a 1980 300TD. There's a thread in the bodywork forum "Staggerlee's rust repair" or something like that. Lots of pics.
