3rd gen rear diff into 2nd gen question

[98legwag]

I am going to replace the rear cv axles on my 98 wagon. I might be able to get a 3rd gen LSD with the same final drive cheap. My question is will the 2nd gen axles work with the 3rd gen rear diff?

I have an 05 rear diff as a backup, looks identical to the 96 one that's in my car.

OK. Thanks.
