I thought the shafts were the same - in fact I am 95% sure I measured both and they were the same.
Many times the ends of the shafts get flared out when the plug gets installed. That would prevent the shaft from going into the pedestal mount. Its usually not an issue with the newer heads but would be with these.
Years ago I bought new DC shafts and they would not fit on my Crane cast rockers because of this issue. I had to grind the ends down to get them on.

Looking at places like rockauto they list the same part number for rocker shafts for early heads (like 62) as late (like 76). The factory P/N changed in '64 but it shouldn't affect interchangeability; I have seventies shafts that fit (tightly) in the pedestals.

Just remember that early B/RB's used a smaller diameter pushrod, so the lifter cups will be smaller for original lifters, pretty sure the cup in the rocker is too but it's been 20+ years since I had my hands of a set of early rockers.
I do know I ended up running a set of early pushrods with later rockers and lifters without issue, but you cannot go the other way (early lifters/later pushrods).
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
