Default Cosworth 4x4 driveshafts

Anyone know how much longer the xr4x4 front driveshafts are compared to the cossie 4x4 ones?
Looking at buying a couple of J&R front shafts, but they are saying they are 8mm longer than the standard Cossie 4x4 shafts.
i think my car is running xr4x4 fronts and im possible having an issue of them being too long for my setup. just didnt want to spend money on the J&R shafts if they are going to be the same length as the xr ones.

thanks in advance

I don't. To be honest the shafts and gearbox are the only 2 things I havent replaced as part of the rebuild. I'll just buy a pair of those j&r shafts. If it's not that then I'll have a spare set. One step closer to being a brand new car lol
