Hi Brian.
According to the book no, but I do not know what the real world differences are.

It's been a while but if I remember right the spline count was different and gear ratios were different as well. I think 87 and 88 shafts may work but a couple of the gears were different. I think it was 1st and 3rd gear were different ratios.
