Default urgent advise please on 2wd drive shafts

ive just recieved some brand new non genuine rear drive shafts for my rwd escos on a 7.5inch diff that i brought from ebay, ive just opened the box and noticed the shorter drive shaft is around 5mm small diameter in the spline tube than the longer one... as far as i can remmember both the cossie shafts are the same thick ness?? ive measured both the cv's and there both 108mm and the bolt pcd's are the same.. so that rules out a 4x4 shaft..

any help would be great

should i be worried it could break?

cheers
