Hello Anthony
It is true that differentlaw applies to you and your wife simply beceause of the dates you both passed your driving test.
The main difference is to do with how heavy the outfit weighs. Check out the details on this site:

which explains the essential points. Make sure you have your licences available to check.
Unless you have a very heavy outfit you are probably ok.
