As far as I'm aware there are no differences in the lines just different disc widths and diameters.

As john says, most are different.

On the 2wd on the reservoir they fit on to the engine side but on the 4wd set up they fit on the inner wing side. (bulk head lines)

Also the lines going to the front brakes are different as they have joins in different places.
Not sure on rear brakes though as there is only one pipe going to the rear of the car, 2wd has a pressure valve if that helps (as said not sure on 4wd one though)

If you are swapping from 2wd set up to 4wd (I have done this to move the fluid bottle away from the heat of the turbo) then you need to swap the electrical connector to the pump as its different (wires are the same though)

Basicly my rear lines are corroded. And im far too lazy to make up my own lines so trying to find a set of lines from someone breaking a car that are in good condition. Thought if the lines were the same then it would widen my search

Cheers guys
