They have completely different differential housings. The FC's has "wings" for rear mounts, and FD's do not. The FC's front mount is to the rear subframe, while the FD's is mounted to the powerplant frame.
It isn't too hard or expensive to find a T2 diff and axles, I think I spent around 200 for mine.

You're right about the PPF though.
The FD pinion is shorter, so I think the "snout" is shorter.
Thus, the driveshaft length is different.
The rear track is wider, so I'd imagine the half shafts would be different.
Bottom line is that it doesn't swap over.
Get a Turbo II drivetrain, and it'll all fit.
