Can anyone advise the difference between wide body 3.0ltr drive shafts and Wide body 2.2 drive shafts.

Are the flanges the same size etc ?

In short No.

My parts comparison matrix which has information sourced from RealOEM shows:
2.2 small case diff flanges with LK=103 mm and M10 bolts
2.2 Medium case LSD diff flanges with LK=86 mm and M10 bolts
3.0L medium case diff either open or LSD flanges with LK=94 mm and M10 bolts.

Not sure it LK= the flange diameter or the bolt hole radius?

The 3.0L half shaft shows a 110mm diameter flange.

If your car has a medium sized diff, you can change the flanges as needed. They pop in and out easily.
