It looks like the grease baffles are different. The new hub does not fit inside the old style grease baffle, it doesn't allow the drum/hub to go all the way on. The newer style must have a larger...

Re: Turning a brake drum
I thought they should probably be installed, I was hoping to at least check if it is round then go from there. I will install races and spin it to check if it's out of round first.
