coupling
I believed this type of coupling is the early type because it is used on the 1938 -40 Ford axle. This axle has the spline pinion , where as the later 1942 was tapered. This coupling is splined both sides , one for gearbox end and the one for the early axle splined pinion. Correct me if I am wrong on this.

Thanks Andrew If they were not made with anything but splines, that would confirm them as "early" (as I suspected)

I have 3 of these duplex couplings and all 3 are tapered on one side and splined on the other....

I agree with Andrew for Kiwi LP2 carriers.
NZ seems to have used them only for early LP2, and gone for the rubber bushed flanged coupling on later production LP2A.
Our LP2 had the early one, but one ball had frozen and it was flogged out. An LP2 in southern Wairarapa NZ had one fail in spectacular fashion in the early 80s when it seized and rotated the gearbox off the back of the engine! The carrier was going again a week or so later, but the monkey face CMP project in the shed never got completed due to lack of its engine! Rob
