Help me identify my propshafts!

Brute force and ignorance here back for another installment of Amazon questions.

A gentleman off this forum met up with me yesterday to peruse my selection of propshafts that I bought in a job lot.
We couldn't get in the lock up because of the idiot residents, but that's another story altogether.

Anyway, after some conflab with the owner of said car causing the blockage, and bottoming everything out, I was able to get in to my pile of wreckage and dig things out for measurement. What it looks like I have is four overdrive props (one not pictured, which is of the same length as the top one, but powdercoated) and one standard M40 non OD type. Plus, what I *think* is a steering column, and a Panhard rod.

I took some rough measurments of the prop faces and shaft lengths.
1 and 2 are identical.

Face diameter: 8.5cm
First section (face to shaft end) : 40cm
Second shaft length: 69 cm

3: Face diameter: 8.5cm
First section (face to shaft end) : 72cm
Second shaft length: 65.5cm

4: Face diameter : 9.5cm
First section (face to shaft end): 78cm
Second shaft length: 78 cm

A close up of what I think is a steering column:

I also have what I think might be a tail shaft, which is 71.5cm long.

Any help appreciated.
