Default 33/34 Torque Tube & Drive Shaft Difference

Folks,

How can you tell the difference on the 33/34 Torque Tube & Drive Shaft. I know they differ from 4-8 Cylinder.

My question is:

1. Is there an obvious external difference or is measuring the only way.

2. What are the measurements for the two different shafts and tubes.

This quote by Mercman From Oz from another thread should answer your question: DD

"For 1933-1934 Fords, regardless of what engine they had, 4 or V8, they were both built on exactly the same chassis & wheelbase. The difference in length is only in the Drive Shafts, to accommodate for the longer 4 cylinder engines.
The length of the Drive shaft in the V-8 = 60 5/32” while the Drive shaft in the 4 cylinder = 58 7/16”
It follows that the Tube on the 4 cylinder was shorter by same amount."
