The distance from the end of the splines on the diff side to the little collar/sealing thing was nearly a 1/2" longer. I was shocked as well. He bought that one from me and it worked great.
Those collars are not put on with a very tight fit. It could have easily moved. The important dimensions are the overall length of the axle and the diameter and length of the splined portion of the shaft.
