Is this level of play normal in a propshaft?

The rotational play is not in the propshaft but in the diff.
The rotational play is more than I would like to see but if the diff is not noisy or feels rough when turned I would leave alone for the moment.
I would consider in the long term replacing the diff with a new or S/H unit.

The good news is I have purchased a second hand 4.395 (If I remember correctly) which has been built up, just waiting on a 948cc engine and gearbox after lockdown lifts properly.
As long as there's no imminent threat, I'm happy to leave for now. Thanks for the help
