V-6 Camry axle and alltrac axles are different Options

We all thought that they are identical. As a matter of fact, the hub end has the same number of splines. BUT, it is not the same size. So the camry axle will not fit in our 6gen hubs. So after I learned this I figured I would take the inner cv joint apart and put it on my broken st185 axle. The inner pieces on this end are different sizes as well. The shaft is different. And the grooves of the bearing are different. Here's a pic. Guys this really sucks, less availability.

st185 on left,,camry on right
st185 spline hole is bigger. The small spaces between the ball bearing grooves are wider on the st185.

The inners have to be the same as the tranny. Mr2 turbo tranny must have mr2 turbo axles. As for the years being the same,,,I don't know. I think everyone just speculates about that. The outers, from my experience can only be from a st185. It doesn't matter what year. I think you may also be able to use the st205 outers. Can anyone verify this??? If you use the v-6camry tranny I assume you have to use v-6 camry inners, but you have to use st185 outers(b/c they will fit in the 6g celica hub. Same with the solara tranny. Use the solara inners. Has anyone tried using an mr2 turbo inner axle on a solara tranny. I'd like to know if these inners splines are the same.
