They are the same length....it is a common trick to deliberately swop the driveshafts over if you are getting some noise from the CV joints. The CVs wear in a certain pattern from going forward most of the time.....swopping them over means that they are rotating in the opposite direction so the new mating surfaces are a lot newer now.
I have done this on two of my E30s and the CVs were quite for many years afterwards....cleaned out and re-greased the CVs in the process of doing the swop-over.
