One thing to think about, The front flange should be the same, it MAY be easier to do the whole 135 driveshaft, and just shorten it if applicable. It would worry me to have separately balance DS halves. (I have zero actual experience with this though.)
Unfortunately a 128 front does not match to a 135 in the splines. They are 1.5mm larger on the 135 side. and you will not be able to tell till you have trashed both ends. i made that mistake when I did my swapon my 328/335 n55 wagon.
