Once Ford started producing their own axles they used them so there would have been both sorts used during construction.

I owned a very early 11 cab Ford with no vents in New Zealand a number of years ago which had been converted by the NZ Army to Ford axles when it was rebuilt in 1953 or there abouts.

Edit Looking through the Ford Factory photos on Service Publications CD the 11 cabs had the towing eyes behind the bumper. Of the few 12 cab photos one dated 1941 showed a 15cwt with the towing eyes behind the bumper but another of an 8cwt did not have any towing eyes at all. I would say that early production cab 12's had some 11 cab parts fitted until supplies were used up.
