So if 68-1126 is just the drum for 1936, that would mean that somebody put them on a later hubs, maybe even the factory from 1937 to finish an old stock.
I doubt that someone would go to the trouble of replacing just the drum, was it even available separately? Plus in Europe people didn't drive much at the time and even less between '39 and '45 if you add the fact that the Matford plant was bombed in '44 at the demand of Mathis himself, I don't think many spare parts were available for older models after the war.

You're right I typed wrong.
But those drums are mechanical brakes and if I'm not mistaken it's 1-3/4 from 1935.
I started blasting the second drum and there's no number on it plus the shape where the number is stamped on the first one is more square on the second one.
