From the pictures posted of the seals and your written description it sounds like identical parts/process to a regular CMP rear brake drum and parts... save for the sprocket bolted on the drum....
Are my assumptions correct...?

They are so similar, that the early carrier axles even have the spring mounts welded on to the axle tubes.
One thing that is different is that the carrier used the chevy type outer bearing seal to keep the oil out of the bearings. A ford truck had the seals inside the axle tubes, and there was a corresponding machined surface on the axles near the spline.
