Yes -- the front drum has a large opening for the front spindle where the rear drum has a small opening due to the rear axle. Note the drums should be solid, although some early production 1936 had the open drum 'spider' drums.

1936 drum would have 3 rings around the outer edge of the drum. 1937-1939 only have one ring.
