Chance, if you take the axle shaft out of the housing on a full floater, you can still roll the truck. That is what you have here. It does not have to be splined on both ends. In fact I have never seen that on a truck, only on heavy equipment. The bearings all mount in a hub and the tires mount to the hub and the axle flange turns the hub.
I guess I couple pull that axle flange and when the van doesn't drop on the ground, that would prove it, but I'm not going to pull anything apart on our new van.
