Default Cluster Gear Identification

I am building a 1939 Ford transmission and bought a gear set from a friend. However, when I started to look at the cluster gear end I noticed it was different than the typical 28-24-18-14 gear set. Has anyone seen a cluster gear like this and where do I find a thrust washer for it?

I've never seen a Cluster like that in any flathead I've pulled apart? Watching to possibly learn something.

Dunno...possibly used with C91A 7129 E thrust washer. Google it possibly... I have an illustration in my Canadian 'Fast moving Parts catalogue', that looks like it would work in conjunction with your pictured cluster.

Appears to be the Canadian version of the regular 28-24-18-14 cluster gear, similar to the 8M-7113 gear. The two prongs on the small end use a thrust washer similar to the 8M-7129 with the bowtie shaped opening. You can modify that washer to fit by enlarging the center opening until it fits over the larger prongs on the Canadian gear. I believe you’ll also need the secondary 8M-7128 washer along with it, but you won’t have to modify that one.
