I would guess (and only a guess) that the full housing would be different but the gear set would be the same. You don't mention what's given up but if it's the spider gears or ring/pinion you might try double checking part numbers for sub-components like bearings and seals at rockauto or ringpinion.com to prove they're the same.

8.8 31 spline has been stable for a very long time. On the other hand not even the wheels are the same from OBS to new.

Good luck,
- Jeff
