R53 and R50 CV axle question

So, I'm parting out my 2002 R53 with a 6 speed.

A woman and her mechanic show up and remove the passenger side CV axle from Craig's list intent in installing it on her R50 with an automatic.
He removes the axle. I had told them the price was $80 trying to be a good guy and I'm new here.
She only has $40 in cash she informs me before hand. I told her okay pay me when you are in the area.

Now she says the axle doesn't fit, not my fault and she'll pay me the additional $40 when she has the money and is in the area.
I replied "no worries", bring the axle back and I'll give you your money back. She's gone silent.

So, is she telling the truth that the axles are different?

Thanks,
Martin
