Best pricing I have found on all these associated parts is on RockAuto.com and Amazon.com
Does not compute. Cardone shows a difference. Local parts shops show a difference. Even my local Isuzu repair facility said they can't get DS (driver's side) shafts.

The statement above says the CV shafts are identical. But it's the inner cup or axle half shaft that's different? Huh? To me, the term "half shaft" and "CV shaft" are interchangeable. But, I'm not a pro mechanic.

Also still interested to know if splined ends just slide into hub and differential.

FWIW, Amazon's pic is what I assume everyone is talking about. OTOH, they do show a sub-section of the entire shaft in the "What other people viewed" section of the Amazon webpage. It looks like the outer 3rd section of the entire halfshaft....
