Rear Suspension Q jacking

[amalventano1 at tds.net (Allyn)]

yes, however I have never seen such jacking cause any damage, even doing so on a car with rear wheels weighing nearly 60 lbs each.
as far as stress on axle pivots themselves:

I'd venture a guess that jacking from the center of the beam is just about the same.

No, no, no, no.....don't do that.  It puts stress on the axle pivots that they were not designed to take.
It' also puts stress on the axle that it was not designed to take....
Jack the rear of the car up at its normal jacking points.  It will do the same thing...with less danger.
