use your drive shafts but change the CV joints for the ones off the 7.5 disc set up...

 

CV is the joint on the right in your bottom picture

The yoke coupling driveshafts are of a different design to the pot joint ones, and are not interchangeable.

 

I'd knock the CV joints off both and fit the disc ones to your existing driveshafts with a pair of shiny new boots.

Yup, that's the peril of having to eat tea between loading the page and posting the reply...

Thank you, this is what I thought as I have the older style couplings on another engine however change of plans means I'm no longer using it

Just remember... don't throw out the old yokes.  Sell them or trade them, especially if you have the QL-5000 joints for the yokes.  All old parts have value.
