Out of curiosity, are these different than the pre-'63 bus small nut brakes?

The early Safari, before they called them Things that had the reduction boxes, the brake drums look just like the early small axle Bus type II ones.
Splines were longer in drum then the one use on IRS.

Pre March 1973 181 brake drums are the same as the pre 1963 bus .
The one from 181 is for 12mm screws .
Do the one for pre 1963 bus have 12mm or 14mm screws ?  |
