Does an automatic and manual 2+0 Z use the same drive shaft?

To elaborate, the rear half of both Auto and Manual OEM driveshafts are the same.
The front half on the other hand is different. The Manual is longer than the Auto.

Don't they have a different spline count as well?

Yep, will not fit. The manual shaft for the TT and NA are the same for the input shaft. The rear section is different.

Auto input shaft is different between the NA and TT.
