Disco 1 200 or 300TDI Axles

Is there any difference between 200TDi and 300TDi axles?
I can identify from from rear but as I have a pair of each, I am having difficulty in figuring out which is the 200TDi pair and which is the 300TDi. There are no diffs in either.

Do they not have axle ID stamped into them?
Cheers

I can only tell by the 1/2 shafts

Not that I can see, under 1/2" of rust and grease... Where should it be?

Any photos?

If you look at the owners manual it shows where the number is.
but it can be a PITA to actually find.

Cheers

1/2 shafts..... 10 or 24..... good thinking. No pics at the mo.

It’s normally near the axle breathers unless they have fell off with rust or grinder

Keeps the rust at bay.....

Early 200 Tdi have a solid metal stub shaft (shaft driving) and later 200Tdi have a removable cap, underneath is a circlip and shim for the driveshaft and CV joint,

Is that for rear, as all fronts have caps.

Nope the front on my early 1990 200tdi has a short solid driveshaft held to the driving flange with 6 bolts
And the later 200tdi I believe from 1993 had caps,

Ah! All mine are later 200 or 300’s

Here is a picture of my early 200tdi, also it should have 4 pot callipers with twin brake pipes,
