Linq full external join with c # null records from datatables

Can someone please help? I need to return the table to Extn_In_Call_Records = Extn_Number, and if either side does not match, return the value of calue in the same way as SQL Full Outer join. I spent hours looking at it, but can't get it to work! I can get the code to work below if I remove the union, but then it only returns matching results. Datatable is populated from MYSQL. Any help would be great.

            //Full Table
        DataTable fullext = new DataTable();
        fullext.Columns.Add("Extn_In_Call_Records", typeof(string));
        fullext.Columns.Add("Total_Calls", typeof(int));
        fullext.Columns.Add("Extn_Number", typeof(string));
        fullext.Columns.Add("Phys_Switch_Name", typeof(string));


        //End Full Table


        try
         {

            //Full Result


             var result = from callrc in callrecdt.AsEnumerable()
                          join physex in physextns.AsEnumerable()
                          on callrc["Extn_In_Call_Records"] equals physex["Extn_Number"]
                           .Union
                          from physex in physextns.AsEnumerable()
                          join callrc in callrecdt.AsEnumerable()
                          on physex["Extn_Number"] equals callrc["Extn_In_Call_Records"] 



                          select fullext.LoadDataRow(new object[] {
                       callrc["Extn_In_Call_Records"],
                       callrc["Total_Calls"],
                       physex["Extn_Number"] == null ? "" : physex["Extn_Number"],
                       physex["Phys_Switch_Name"] == null ? "" : physex["Phys_Switch_Name"]
                       }, false);
             result.CopyToDataTable();
             fullresult.DataSource = fullext;

Per LINQ - Full Outer Join, - . LINQ ( ) :

var leftJoined = from left in lefts
                 join right in rights
                   on left.Key equals right.Key
                 into temp
                 from newRight in temp.DefaultIfEmpty(/* default value for right */)
                 select new
                 {
                     /* use left and newRight to construct the joined object */
                 }

:

// initialize some default elements to use later if
// they're of the same type then a single default is fine
var defaultPhysex = new {...};
var defaultCallrc = new {...};

var left = from callrc in callrecdt.AsEnumerable()
           join physex in physextns.AsEnumerable()
             on callrc["Extn_In_Call_Records"] equals physx["Extn_Number"]
           into temp
           from physex in temp.DefaultIfEmpty(defaultPhysex)
           select new 
           {
               // callrc is accessible here, as is the new physex
               Field1 = ...,
               Field2 = ...,
           }

var right = from physex in physextns.AsEnumerable()
            join callrc in callrecdt.AsEnumerable()
              on callrc["Extn_In_Call_Records"] equals physx["Extn_Number"]
            into temp
            from callrc in temp.DefaultIfEmpty(defaultCallrc)
            select new 
            {
                // physex is accessible here, as is the new callrc
                Field1 = ...,
                Field2 = ...,
            }

var union = left.Union(right);
