The measurements on the # e73GR and Dexter # 6340624 are going to be the same. The hub-face-to-hub-face length is 95" and the spring-center-to-spring-center length is 80" on both. The inner diameter (ID) of the inner bearing on both is 1.75" and the ID of the outer bearing is 1.25". They also have easy lube spindles and a 5 bolt brake flange configuration.

As you pointed out, they do have different weight capacities. The # e73GR has a weight capacity of 6,000 lbs and the # 6340624 has a weight capacity of 5,200 lbs. The inner bearing will be # 25580 for both. The Dexter axle uses the # LM67048 outer bearing. The # e73GR uses the # 15123 outer bearing for hubs with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern and the # 14125A bearing for 8 on 6-1/2.
