Default Need help identify Wide 5 front drums 1939 Merc

Hello!
Can anyone help me tell what year my front brake drums are? It came with two different styles, and I wonder which one belongs to my 1939 Mercury.

The 1 on the right is 39, LH one is 36. See how much taller the nose is. Also has ribs on the exterior.

One on the right looks more like a 37 38 one piece drum. 39 was a 2 piece drum but 37 to 39 will interchange. 36 is by itself
