Help identify steering shaft

It looks a bit like the one from a manual rack 240

Thanks James. You may be correct...Did the early manual rack 240s have a rubber disk coupling at the top, or 2 uni joints (one top and one bottom). My later 240s including an 81 with manual steering had a uni at top and bottom. I'd have a look at my 77 245L but I just heaped a bunch of stuff onto the bonnet and I couldn't be bothered moving it all!

Found this thread...looks like it's early 240...

Thanks @jamesinc I think the guy who sent me the pic may have modified the top end so it just has a splined T-joint attached to the rubber coupler thing, so I believe that explains it. My 79 had the rubber inner mould shaft, so I'm guessing this solid style shaft was pre-79...
