I've had a rear 40 series long axle in my 70 series for the past 2 years, I wasnt aware of any differences in lengths when I put it in and never measured them? I don't know if the 20mm difference is in the hub or a wider axle housing (long or short side or both?) but I did find this diagram on some web site a while back and it shows upto 1989 70 series long axles as pretty much the same length as 40 series?

Yeah i've seen that picture it seems that the 70series crusiers that they got in the states all had the smaller 8" front diff
