No--the bolts on the yoke go in from the front.  In fact, they are a tight
fit in the yoke and are normally left in place.  

Most cars I have worked on also have the driveshaft bolts installed from
the front.  In the parts manuals for 1972-74 2000 and early 1600 cars all
the pictures of the driveshaft as a complete unit or "exploded" indicate
that that is the correct orientation for the giubo bolts.  Later cars may
be different.
