After a lot of hassle the configuration in the P5 parts book and WS manual are incorrect it shows a Parallel front shaft and a Parallel rear shaft where the P5b is in fact a Crossed front and a Parallel rear so the shaft I have here has been done incorrectly

Thanks to Phil, Cyf and Miguel for the pictures

So whether the early P5's were different as they used tapered shims in the axle to compensate for the diff nose being low and they didn't alter the book "Who Knows"
