They're a completely different animal - as the early 32 Rear is really kind of a carry over from the Model A era - and the torque tube flange that bolts to the banjo is round. You cannot use the early 32 torque-tube with a later rear end - and the driveshaft is also different. Most 32's that I've seen have the early style rear end.
The late 32 rear had a scalloped rear torque-tube flange (like a 33 - 34) and the internals are exactly like a 33-34 rear.
It is quite hard to find an original 32 rear end with the later torque-tube, driveshaft and 33-34 style of pumpkin - but they are out there. Lots of guys have taken 33 - 34 rears and shortened the torque tube and driveshaft to fit a 32.
