It is painly seen with their pictoral geometric picture. Note the red C/L as the swing goes through the arc. They have English tanslator ....

I think someone put a right axle in the left side at one time ...
What is the problem with the diff . to begin with??

I took out the left axle shaft from an older spare I have, and it is longer but the spline is smaller in diameter as well. It has an even smaller part of the spline length engaged. This convinced me that the shorter axle is part of a later revision, so it is probably correct.
The axle is from a partially restored 220 SE cp I bought. I want to do it right so I am changing wheel bearings all seals, rubber bearing/bushing and the two bronze bushings plus the rubber parts. Of course it will get POR15 treatment at the end so it looks nice also. Only part I will not mess with, is the differential itself.
I will do the same with the front end when the time comes, new king pins etc., etc.
