There are 2 sizes; the original was first used on the 916 and has a 46mm nut. When they introduced the 1098 they used a larger axle with the 55mm nut (presumably to better handle the bigger power?) oddly the, otherwise almost, identical 848 still used the smaller axle so whilst front wheels are interchangeable, rears are not.
Large axles are used on the bigger engined bikes, I'm not certain exactly which bikes use them but they are easily identified without measuring/comparing as the sprocket carrier has 6 fixing bolts rather than 5 as on the small axle.
