Different colors and closer together but sure looks similar.
Do not think this was a precision deal.

----I see very carefully taped off stripes on body off cars that look perfect, but I'm convinced that who ever put those stripes on driveshafts had open cans of paint and a big bunch of narrow brushes and put whatever the part # told him to do. It should look messy. What I don't know is when the stripes were put on and how they were placed all around the driveshaft...Bill S

When the driveshaft was being assembled and on a lathe if you will,being balanced,a worker with a brush & paint followed what color application stripes to apply as it rotated,before being stockpiled.
