MG MGB Technical - Steering Tube

My 67 BGT has a 70's steering wheel. It appears the steering tube has been changed. I have a tube and column from an older B, but am unsure about how the older one fits.

Here are pictures.

The shorter one is what is currently on the car. That one had a plastic flex boot at the bottom. The other is longer.

I can change the tube inserts to fit the older shaft into the newer tube. The tubes are the same diameter, but the shaft of the older one is thicker.

Can I use the newer tube with the older shaft or just order the elcluder that Moss has for the 62-67?
