Difference between low/high pinion axels and CV's (1 Viewer)

[Hulsty]

Awhile ago I bought some axels and CV's to suit a 75 series, problem is I dont know if they suit a early low pinon diff or the later high pinion diff! How do I tell the difference between the two ?

IIRC when the switch to the HP8 was made, bigger birfields came as part of the deal, I'm not sure how you could tell them apart if you don't have both styles side by style. The axle shaft length might be different too, at least it is between the early "heavy" 9" and "light" 8", the pumpkin is more offset by about 1" on the 8".
