all drive shafts are the same If i remember right apart from abs-non abs
all e30 diffs fit each other, but check the ratio is ok for your set-up

Yes, short answer
the ABS shafts have a trigger ring round the outer CV joint, yours do not, otherwise same as.
bolt her up and enjoy !

check the thickness of the shaft and the size of the UJ's as they can be different too.
