Default from memory only ....

The VC and half ton WC used both types of joints on all the 4 x 4 body types. The VC front axle housing was weak, but the WC half ton one was notably stronger. The 1.5 ton VF 4 x 4 used both types of joint too, but larger, of course.

One type of joint was marginally stronger than the other, but considerably more difficult / expensive to manufacture, so they standardised on the simpler / cheaper type some time during WC half ton production.

Driveshafts of either type will interchange as complete units.


I don't have any of my books here, so I can't say which type was standardised and exactly what your joint would have been original equipment on, but I can look it up some time if no-one else can tell you.
