It unfortunately doesn't say what determined this design choice. If you trust the diagram in this book showing these two options, both are for the same length of car. In the 2 piece, the first one is small diameter and the second is larger. In the 3 piece, all three pieces are small diameter. Not sure if any of this is relevant, but I wanted to share.

Well thanks for sharing anyway! Your workshop manual doesn't by any chance have a list of the vehicles / chassis numbers showing which vehicles had the 3 piece prop shaft? Probably not! And I guess it isn't your favourite bed time reading...
