I would not try to use the needle bearings on the early shaft. The 36 shafts used with the needle bearings were case hardened to cope with the high contact loads.
 
I have over 20,000 miles on my 34 Phaeton since I rebuilt steering box using the needle bearings for 1936 and is works great. No problems yet.
