What is this rear hub from?

[white64]

I bought a badly rusted basket case 40 a few years ago... and with it came axles (year unknown so far...) & '46 front hubs/brakes and only backing plates on the rear... these rear hubs have me stumped! there is no brake drum and the bolt pattern is 5 x 4 3/4 (or 4 1/2?), They seem to fit the axle fine, but what are they?

I do have a set of '40 rear drums, are they ok to use with the '46 rear backing plates?

Look like 40 hubs that have been re-drilled for GM pattern.

They were 5 on 5-1/2"; but have been re-drilled to the smaller pattern. Probably '40 style that mounted inside the drum. Your '40 drums will work fine with the later backing plates.

Ditto to what Neil said.

You can probably restore them back to original and use them.
