Guys, I have a spare front disc axle from an FJ40 in my garage that I'm considering swapping into my '74 55. Are there any differences between the axles (both front and rear) between an FJ40 and an FJ55?

Thank you for the help!

Exactly what was done to mine by the PO. Works perfectly. I do have the dual master cylinder. Don’t know if that was original or swapped in.
 
Hang on a second here...
Rear axles are different - 55 rear housing has mounts for anti-sway bar.
Fronts are very similar - obviously you are looking at converting to disc. There may be differences in where the brake lines connect, but that would be a difference related to year/vintage, not 55 vs 40.
