Default Rear DriveShaft Gaiters? Still Available from Ford?

Being lazy as I cant be arsed having the 15 minutes debate with my local ford dealer if they still do them or not............so

Can you still buy the genuine ones from fords?

Are the 2WD and 4WD rear shafts the same diameter? ie Same gaiters?

Thanks,

How can I tell what shafts I have?

My car has a 7 inch diff and black driveshaft bolts (not blue).

Points towards them being 4WD as I think the 2WD used the blue bolts. Question is can you mix and match the bolts? Could they be 2WD shafts using 4Wd bolts to the 4WD diff?

Any part numbers available?

Thanks,

PCD of the cv bolts is different (I think )

108 = 2wd cosi (7.5" diff) others are 100.
