With something this old (1939) I'm sure you would need to swap them. When I did this with my '41 1/2-ton in the early 70's I did have to swap the backing plates and related parts.
I'd look for a '51 to '54 to get the Bendix brakes out of this swap too (thanks Bill).

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |
