The M135 Deuce axles were 6.17 ratio, almost identical to that listed for the C15A at 6.16- so not a huge change in terms of MPH per 1000 RPM. (other CMPs had different ratios 5.43 6.67 6.50 7.16 6.33/8.81 - source: AEDB design record) so they would be even slower, except for the HUP axles that don't really swap to other trucks very well at 5.43.......
