Just got new brake drums for the rear from NAPA. Number is same as the drums I got for the front couple months ago -- ND 4401071. But these drums have a 1/4" plate about 1/2 x 3" welded onto the exterior, about an inch in from the edge. None of my old drums nor the new front drums from NAPA had the plate.
Dumb question - What is this plate for? Different application? Will it affect balance or wheel fit on a 52?

You can see it in the photo.
