Default Drive Shaft Pinion Key & Rear Axle Key The Same?

I'm replacing a drive shaft. Tom Endy's article mentions that the drive shaft key is A-4606 and it is different from the rear axle keys which are A-4243.
Snyders's sells the drive shaft key as A-4243 and the rear axle keys as a pair A-4243-A. I ordered A-4243 from Snyders and received one key lableled "Rear Axle Key" that is identical to the keys sold as a pair, A-4243-A. Meanwhile the other vendors do sell a drive shaft key that is A-4606. I'm confused. Should I continue to use Snyder's A-4243 or order an A-4606 from one of the other vendors? What are the differences if any? Are they sized differently?
