Default Front Driveshaft Question

I'm in need of a new front driveshaft for my '03 DII. Atlantic British shows different driveshafts for 1999-2000 and specific ones for an '03 which is more expensive. Everywhere else I look says they're all the same. Can anyone tell me if there really is a difference between the years?

I have spent a fair bit of time on here I and don't recall a difference. ZGPhoto is an insider at Rovers North, perhaps a PM to him. Their catalog is pretty expansive.

There's a slight length difference between certain year ranges. I can't remember the amount of difference, but it's small enough the shorter will fit in place of the longer.
That said, if you're buying a complete propshaft don't get OE, go ahead and get a quality HD replacement from Great Basin Rovers or Tom Woods. A lot cheaper than a new OE.
Alternatively, depending on the condition of yours, it can be rebuilt.

I stand corrected and ashamed that I did not recall that point.
