Default Help fitting a R160 rear Suretrac on Euro spec WRX!

Hi all.
I am going to fit a R160 rear differential (from JDM WRX03) to my car but need help from the professionals!
First of all are the rear driveshafts of a Euro spec WRX same size, length, shape as Subaru "Fast CD" programm gives different part number - 28421FE131 for the left and 28421FE121 for the right?
Secondly each driveshaft has a notch at the end where it goes into the differential housing and locks with a circlip, are both notches on left-right driveshafts in same position from the edge of the driveshaft?
If someone can help me I'd really appreciate it, thanks in advance!

Stuart my problem is that the Suretrac unit is 2mm shorter from each side where the driveshafts insert the diff housing and wonder if the oil seals that fit perfectly on the factory Viscous diff (actually on the roller bearings and side edges of the diff) cause any oil leakage with my new Suretrac!
Unfortunately no one can help me here or in 22B forum and I have to try and see myself, my Subaru "fast CD" programm though gives same part numbers for the Japanese WRX rear driveshafts, bearings, oil seals etc so I guess it should fit...
