Someone please correct me if wrong, but I think...
260 is the same size as 1310 and 297 is the same as 1330. The difference is in the caps. 1310 and 1330 driveshaft joints are held in place with outer snap rings or u-bolts/straps while the 260 and 297 axle joints have a type of c-clip on the inner edge of the cap. The 260s will be on front axles without ABS and the 297 are on axles with ABS. I've heard if you find a wrecked ZJ/XJ with ABS, the 297 shafts are a good low-buck upgrade for a non-ABS vehicle with a front Dana30.
This is all from my "I've heard" mental archives so I'm not 100% sure.
