The Volvo one might be x4 the price but it will fit...
If you share your VIN number, someone with VIDA may be able to get you the part number.
The 3.2 uses the same gearbox as the D5 but I guess it may be positioned slightly differently in the car, necessitating different shafts (perhaps).
I'd also add your local Indie does not appear to be competent, these are not usually difficult cars to get parts for, if you match on part number and it is an original (Volvo) part - it will fit.
