2nd Gen Front Axle in First Gen Titan

I was looking for a used front diff on ebay and came across a Titan XD front diff for sale. I compared photos of it to the photos of 2008+ front diff. They look a lot alike as far as how they are laid out. I checked on some Nissan OEM parts websites and the rubber mount-insulators are the same for the 2017 as they are for the 2004-2015 titans.

Also, the steering knuckles are the same, but the hubs are different for 2017 Titan. Any way. Just trying to see if there is a way to use the new design in an old truck.
