I am assuming 'flatfront' refers to the appearance of the bonnet and you are asking about rear axles?

 

MW, OX and OY rear axles are all different. The MW and OX are similar in design but the OX has a larger diameter diff carrier due to larger crown wheel. The OY has a stronger axle casing without the tin cover (all cast). Each one has differing ratios. I would think it possible the MW axle could be narrower than an OX.
