Default Replacement diff

Just a quick question for you guys, Will a diff from a XH ute fit an AU ute?
Would it be a easy change out?
Cheers

the utes have live axle. you could swap the centres, they might not be a perfectly straight fit (might need shims) but the whole diff e.g disc to disc will not fit

Ute to Ute will swap, but then you will need E-Series offset rear wheels and standard AU on the front
