Unanswered: Identifying axle bearings

I picked up a small cache of NOS and aftermarket axle bearings old and new style. They were in bags, boxes or were loose. These bearings look identical within in there two respective groups even though there are several different part numbers. Are they the same or are there slight differences that have to be measured to determine there correct applications.

Thanks,
Harold

the mother load

harold, if you got any of these..you hit the mother load..i think they are worth 1-200 each...maybe more... a lot ..i dont know exactly..

rear axle bearings for a 69-70 gt ..photo below- no inner race...roller rode the axel..these are so expensive,some just ditch the whole rear end for a late model...no aftermarket makers

71-73 had the inner race, aftermarket supplies, not worth a whole lot

Harold, if you have lots of the later style bearings, is a pair available at a nice price to a nearly bankrupted racing team? Please let me know. I'll be running the originals for now, should have new ones ready at least...
Thanx!
