What models and years of Subaru's came with no stubs on the rear diff (driveshaft has the stub that slots into the diff)?

The automags back in the day wrote articles on the EA81T (Turbo Traction wagon and Brat) as a 1983 1/2 offering, as they weren't available at the start of the 83 model year.... the Turbo Traction Coupe...
