Need to be a bit more specific to which engine.
For the L28 it won't, they are different lengths to accomodate the different length in the gearboxes.

depends....
if its a factory 5 speed put in the patrol.....
then no 4 speed shaft will fit the 5 speed motor.
if the gearbox has been put in and originally was a 4 speed then the shaft depends on the new motor / gearbox combination.

NO the L28 motor is shorter than the diesel... so the diesel gearbox sits further back.
the diesel 5 speed shaft will be alot shorter than a petrol 4 speed rear.
