What are the rear hub and stub axle differences?

[68 obe]

What are the differences in the rear hubs?
Part numbers
211 501 254
211 501 254/B
211 501 254/C
Also would the stub axles all be different?

I need to replace the offside hub on my 68 camper.
I've found one for sale, hub complete with stub axle but the part number is 211 501 254/B for a 70 - 71
Would this fit my 68?
Would it be a straight swap or would the rear brake drum no longer fit due to the 70 - 71 having a different length stub axle?

Thanks

It will fit, the hub assemblies (I've seen 5 different castings with slight differences) are the same throughout bay production.
Stub axles and the outer bearing changed August 1971 for 1972 model year with 5x 112mm PCD. The hubs are slightly different in that there is no outer circlip retaining the bearing.

You can swap stub axles by just changing the outer bearing with the stub axle.
Early 230mm stub axles take a 72od/35id/17 wide bearing (part no. 211-501-283)
Later 206mm stub axles take a 62od/35id/19 wide bearing (part no. 211-501-283D)

I'm currently running early hubs with later shorter stub axles. All I did was replace the outer bearing and fit the axles.

I’m just about to fit late bay axles to my 69 early bay so I can fit flat centre caps to my Fuch reps . I’ve been told by a chap in Holland who’s done the mod a few times in his shop that I only need to get my rear drums machined down on the nose by 24mm (the difference in axle length from early to late) The. Using my hub centric spacer it will recess the axle / nut enough to fit a flat cap . He didn’t say I had to change the outer bearing ? Have you done a slightly different mod ?
