Is there a front / rear side to the double cardan joint?

[Danarch]

Finished install of both driveshafts today. Even though I was careful to mark stuff and put back the same way the u-joint is very tight at the double cardan yoke. It doesn’t hit but only by a mm or so. Everything went back together without an issue. But i am wondering of the double cardan yoke assembly isn’t the same on each end and if there is a front and back end. You can see how close it is in the first pic. The second pic is the backside of the assembly.

Update here is a better picture of the assembly. I am afraid the DS should be on the other end.

Thanks @John Cooper. I ended up sending him a PM late last night. Hopefully he doesn’t mind. From additional looking around seems like it is the same on each end. That small gap though doesn’t seem right to me. I’ll marked the area with same nail polish and plan on taking it for a little roll today and see if they hit each other. I’d be more comfortable if someone knew that size of gap is normal. The opposite side doesn’t have that issue.

Adobe by Mary Kay. I was surprised my wife had any nail polish.

Cool. I like Mary Kay, but gave up on them years ago as their pyramid scheme doesn't work so every time I needed something, I had to find a new rep. Easier to just go to the MAC counter at Ulta or get OPI polish just about everywhere. I'm still using MK primer and foundation, although they're getting low.
