The bead outside of the lugnut holes is about 3/8 " on the later wheel .
on the early wheel it is about an inch.

Sorry I don't have an early wheel to measure

The AR used the same brake drums on the front and back
The AR front drum does not have a collar that goes right up to the bearing cone on the hub, instead it finishes about 2" from the center of the bearing cone

I hope this helps
Easy to spot the difference when you know what to look for
