Evo X rear diff (ayc) into evo VI

I want to know if I can put an evo x differential on my evo 6, I have seen several images and they are the same.

Same except left output flange. You can check if you can swap the output flange from Evo 5-9 AYC to Evo X AYC diff.

The Evo 7+ Super AYC to Evo 9 is same as Evo X otherwise, no advantage except age: newer, so fresher.
Evo 6 and early 7 AYC was not as "much torque transfer" as later Super AYC..maybe 50% more torque transfer, so more rotation.
And Super AYC may be physically stronger, do not remember any more.

AYC swap issues evo X

I have a few questions on this swap. I wanted to buy a spare rear ayc diff for my EVO V since parts are getting hard to find. I though on geting a EVO X ayc diff (stronger and better at torque bias than the evo V or v AYC) since I have a machine shop I think most machining mods would be relatively easy.
My questions in in regards to final drive ratios.
According to my research the EVO 4 to 9 have a 3,307 rear diff ratio but the X has a 3,538. From what I know for 4wd vehicles it would mean the rear wheels would spin slower around 6,6% than the fronts. Some people say that this wouldn't matter as the center diff would account for this discrepancy and allow this mismatch. I worked for BMW technical service and just a 1% tire size difference (using older and newer tires) could cause issues with the diffs.
I don't know if you could just swap the differential gear set from the evo v to the evo X AYC. Is this possible? Since most people say the AYC is almost identical except for the left output flange I would think internally they would be very similar. Also from pictures the inner diff seems to be very similar in dimensions.

Thanks for all the help.
