Call it 90-95% certain.  My car has a 4-speed, and where 5-speeds are concerned, all I've seen is photos and line drawings.  However, it's good engineering practice to locate a sliding joint (slip joint) where it receives the least amount of side force, which in a car with a live rear axle means at the transmission end.  In the final analysis, I believe that the flanges on transmission and differential have different bolt spacing dimensions, so you could probably make a couple of measurements and be 100% certain.
