Default What are these spindles?

I saved a front axle from a scrap pile this weekend mainly for the spindles and wishbone. I thought they were 37-38 roundbacks but after looking at them again, I don't think they are with the way the steering arms are. I thought I knew more about early spindles than I actually do I guess ... can you guys tell me what they are for sure and if they are desirable? Thanks!

believe the 'round' spindle flange was used from beginning to May '28 when the straight vertical sides on flange were introduced (reason unknown)
