What's the difference?

This is very important when it comes to fully locked front axle shafts. Both wheels are mechanicaly connected. so when you turn your wheels you want the joints on each stub shaft to mirror each other. Same as drive shafts. the ujoints/yoke combo on each end of the shaft need to be indexed so they move in the same direction.

This shaft is correct. If you turn the slip shaft 90 degress it would be wrong, apply this mind set to your front axle shafts. You need to also make sure the axle housing yoke and t-case yoke are alined and the parts are moving in the same direction.
