On a 185 the driveshaft bit from inner CV outwards are semi-interchangable, certainly in emergency. One side has a damper block in the middle, the other doesn't.
The inner couplings into the gearbox are different so you need to split the inner CV (which can be a bit fidly to put back together if it's balls drop out).

No they are different and you can`t interchange them, the main difference is the inner joint where it enters the box
