Default 3dr driveshaft lenth?

Is there a particular way the drive shafts fit on the 3dr's? I think I might have them the wrong way round! I did mark them before I removed them but they got lost during painting! Ive also replaced both rear wheel bearings and the wheels both sides are very hard to turn by hand! Any help would be great thanks. Jonno.

As said mate the shorter of the two goes on the exhaust back box side, the longer of the two will only fit in one side

Default drive shafts

Learn something everyday had mine off three times I guess I never got them mixed up.
Will the longer one only fit on it's side?


Cheers.
