The hub, i.e the bit with the studs and bearing is the same but the end of the beam where there is either a mount for the brake drum backing plate (4 bolts) or the 'ears' for the caliper is different.

So yes, nissan did make 2 different beams for the two different cars depending on the rear brakes.

I have had both beams side by side and they are different for drum and disk. You can buy conversion kits but i would rather swap over the whole beam.
