    I think the top one is early and used a screw in cap , and the bottom one is later ..maybe 46-48.

    That statement is a little confusing. When each year drum is assembled on its corresponding same year hub, then they can be used interchangeably. But you can't mix the drums and hubs up.
     

  5. Thanks everyone for the information.
