It will fit.
The ratios may be different.

The diff ratio is often stamped on the crown wheel. Remove the diff cover plate and rotate until you see some stamped numbers. eg 40:9 is obviously 4.44 and 37:9 is 4.11.
I suspect they are the same ratio.

Take the alloy cover off the back of the diff and look inside. You will see the crown wheel. The largest gear wheel in the diff. Rotate it until you find some numbers stamped on the crown wheel.
Drain the diff oil first or it gets messy.
