Compare the diameter or the cross pin in both diffs. That would to me be the only difference.

Yep, the 28 spline open axles will fit the 28 spline traction loc.

Youmight also look at the wear pattern on the axle splines, that too could be what's keeping them from seating all the way.

It sounds like the splines in your traction loc are not lined up. With both axles out, take a flashlight and look through the axle opening, you will be able to see it. Lining then up can be tough, you got to hold one axle in position, and rotate the other till they pop in.
