Default Softail swingarm differences???

Is there any differences in the swingarm between the Deluxes?

I ordered a chrome swingarm for a softail and just realized there was only one choice. Hopefully they are all the same.

Default 2009 and 2007 softail swingarm

I have a 2007 Deluxe softail and bought a 2009 Deluxe softail chrome swingarm . The 2009 swing arm is about 1/4 to half inch bigger than my 2007 swing arm. So, 2009 softail swingarm will not fit a 2007 deluxe softail . Also, the 2007 has a 3/4 axle and the 2009 has a 1" axle.

I'm betting they already figured it out sometime in the last 16 years since the OP asked.
