[Spridgets] converting wire axles to solid

I recall several discussions about simply swapping rear axles from a wire
wheeled rear banjo assembly to a solid banjo to allow wire wheels to be used
or convert an early MK to wires
There was a concern about the length of the axles and not engaging to the same
extent inside the read diff.

I am working with a situation that might lead to going the other way , meaning
using solid rimed axles in a wire wheeled banjo
Is it safe to say that the solid axles are longer and therefore may not fit in
a narrower wire wheeled banjo?

Just taking a look at doing something and later finding out it won't work
I plan to measure 2 axles at some point once I gather them up and can take
some comparisons side by side
