Different year axle, different type u joint?

I have a 1998 classic, but I crashed it a few weeks after getting it, the repair shop put an 80's something front axle under it, and now its time to replace the passenger side u joint. My question is, is there a difference in the u joints that would go on the passenger side for different year axles, or are the all the same? (we think it is an 86, 87, 88 front axle now dana 30)
 
The Cherokee D30 used two different size u-joints. Since you can mix and match axle parts you will have to measure the u-joint you have installed or buy both sizes and return one size.

Dana 30 - All 1995-2001 have 5-297x u-joints. 1989-95 with ABS have 5-297x u-joints. All others have 5-260x u-joints.
