Tailshaft, i think is Yes! I have used a LX tail shaft on a UC, so cant see why the reverse wouldnt work!
(I think i edited it)
Good Wiki though

Very handy. Nice work.

Do all of the above also apply to a UC hatch?

Handbrake from bench seat and poverty pack UC will fit an LH/LX.

UC 6cyl Aircon is the same as LH/LX V8 - Even the vacuum control switch fits - it's just on it's side in the UC.

Elaborated a bit more on the diff

Steering columns have a fair few subtle differences - if you try to swap bits between the 2 columns you will notice as some things wont change over.
The only real advantage I can think of with the UC column is the wiper switch which comes with +'s and -'s.

Pedals and brake booster - yes provided you use the correct pedal with the correct booster as there are straight and bent rod versions of LX booster where as the UC used bent rod only.

6 cyl exhaust is mostly the same.

The engine pipes have different manifold jointing methods.  

The UC exhaust manifold has a Hot Box connection to the inlet manifold.
