Unfortunately, no.

Here's a pic of a similar part; its not the same thing...

When you consider the variables out there - differential width, car width, power transmitted, etc etc. it become a really specific problem.

Add to that, the output flanges have different bolt patterns or just splines and then the wheel side splines have different splines.......

It will have to be a custom part or maybe use some really clever adapters between parts that were never meant to bolt together.
