Assuming the Banjo style rear common to the MGA and early MGB ... MGA
info from the Moss Catalog ... 

453-310 AXLE, disc wheel-10 spline 1500
453-330 AXLE, disc wheel-26 spline 1600 to (c)82892
453-360 AXLE, disc wheel-25 spline 1600 from (c)82893

... MGBs use a 25 spline axle.

Keep in mind that the following diff gears are interchangeable ...

267-070 DIFFERENTIAL GEAR 1500 (10 spline)
267-080 DIFFERENTIAL GEAR 1600 (26 spline)
267-090 DIFFERENTIAL GEAR 1600 (25 spline)

... so you can "upgrade" your MGA pumpkin that MGB pumpkin and retain
your MGA axles.

Later ... Larry
