I wonder if the one on the right ws used with the 1931 spoke wheel?


I guess not, the spoke wheel drum looks totally different.

If you check the "Service Bulletins " you will see when the early AA " scalloped " hub on the new bevel gear rear axle was changed . This early hub was causing wheel hub area failure with heavy loading . A stiffening plate was issued in service to prevent failure . Your pictures show both early and late styles .
