However, it doesn't have front drums with those ribs or long snouts. Perhaps that's because the car was converted to 1939 hydraulic brakes?
Also ....... the rear drums are a star shape like the one on the right in your 08-24-2020 photo above ........ not the bolted type as shown on the left.

"Having been there done that".... Converted my '36 Ford to hydraulic brakes in 1952, I can relate to the front drum issue. The front spindles on a '36 have to be converted to '40-41 with '39 or later backing plates and '37-39 drums if the stock wheels are going to be retained.
