Just trying to get the correct information out here but those
gaskets that you have pictured wouldn't do a thing to keep
hypoid grease from getting to the brake drums. This free
floating hub is machined from one single billet with a metal
seal where the axle flange bolts up and an lip seal behind the
flange where the wheel bolts up:

earlier, simply to keep the drum from bonding with the flange
due to rust. You can use them or not. For a trailer queen who
would never get her feet wet, I don't see any need for them.
Addendum: Where did you see that in the parts book
Tim, I can't find it in the 1929-54 book?
