Rear prop difference

Maybe a silly question for some of us.
All my research says that the rear propshalf on a D3 / D4 is different from a Range Rover Sport rear propshalf.
Why when I thought they were all built on the same chassis.
Can anybody confirm this please as been offered a new RRS rear prop cheap.

I think that the RR Sport has a shorter wheelbase. I may be wrong though.

Thanks for the replies, Bow down today I actually managed to measure a RRS and as all have said it has a shorter wheelbase by a good 5 inches. Thumbs Up

Still not the same Range Rover that is based on the same platform as the d3/4 that’s where the issue lies
