Default Axle Question for K "Gurus"

Well the question I have for you is this

Are all K20A axles identical? such as K20A ITR vs K20a3 civic si?
if they are not is there a length difference? Because looking at various
specs of Civic si vs RSX TYPE S...track width of both cars, show RSX slightly
wider but only by so much. Which could be caused due to offset and suspension design. Any info would be appreciated, as I have done a bit
of research into it but yet to find any good info

Thanks in advance

from what I've researched:

DC5R axles are 1 inch wider on both sides than K20a2 axles

DC5R/S axles have a 36mm spline

DC5/EP3 axles have a 32mm spline ... auto base RSX axles are the same as the manual as well

^ base rsx axles are 5 lug as well, however they are the same ... I think the 04-05 axles may be the same as the base rsx
