Are they just a straight swap for motorsport shafts using motorsport hubs?

one side is the usual short shaft and there are two short shafts on the other side with a bearing in the middle.

The angled parts of the shafts are the same length. So the longer drivers side shft instead of having a cv joint at the end going into the gearbox has a short shaft and then a cv joint and then the angled part of the shaft!
