The backing plates pictured are 39-41 style. Flat paper gasket on the cap of the original style MC, about 0.025" thick, using the cap with the square drive.

This is a '42-'48 plate. Notice that there are NO adjustment provisions (big hex nut) at BOTTOM of each shoe. DD

The photo in post #1 is sideways. Makes the almost a question in post #5 a bit confused. They are still '39 to '42 . We keep forgetting that "42s used the pre-war backing plates. Good Luck: Fred A
