If the tyres are the same make/model that should be sufficient.
If you measure them from the center to the ground you will find the fronts are 'smaller' by a few mm because they are squashed by the weight of the engine//box. There was a thread about it and @dfossil fitted some speed sensors to his props and found that once moving the props turned at the same speed. IIRC it was only at very slow speeds, cornering and climbing hills that there was any noticeable difference in prop speeds.
lol, the mind does play tricks. If the components (IRD, diff & VCU) are in decent health with matching tyres, there shouldn't be a problem - but I don't think I could have peace of mind restoring mine to 4WD without installing a TPMS.
