Are 60 series axles any stronger than the later 40 series ones ?

They seem to be pretty much the same apart from width, is this the case ?

Basicaly, 80 series rear (centre only) 60 series and 40 series diffs are the same, it's the widths and brakes that are different, CV's and Centres are the same
