EDIT: Confirmed. It seems this part number is a viable shorter substitute.
73-87 outer (ES409R):
Length - 6.75"
Threads - 11/16-18(R)
Rod Type - Male
Config - Straight
Small Taper - .593
Large Taper - .676
Taper Length - .664
Stud Thread - 9/16-18
Scout II Outer (ES392R):
Length - 3.9"
Threads - 11/16-18(R)
Rod Type - Male
Config - Straight
Small Taper - .612
Large Taper - .703
Taper Length - .728
Stud Thread - 9/16-18
At first glance, the tapers appear different, but doing a little trigonometry yields the exact same taper of 7.125° (or 1.5" per foot). The stud length of the Scout part is .06" taller, or what I like to call negligible. My only concern would be if using the shorter, aftermarket sleeves is if you would get enough thread engagement between the inner/outer.
Thanks to Jake and his buddy for doing the initial research!
