I have a WW2 4 wheel Aust Generator trailer that has the same hubs and just slightly different 6 stud wheels (earlier? WW2 Vs 1953?). These were off a 1940 Chev sedan.

The wheel bearings are an unusual design (compared to these days), with the inner bearing being ball bearings in a bronze cage. They are an odd size, and replacement for these or a modern tapered roller design bearings are somewhat pricey.
