Hi Aris,
Pretty sure those are the differential carrier bearings, not the hub bearings.

Good luck!

These should be right for the MUTT and will fit M151 & M416 wheel hub's,
not for Willys M38 / M38A1


Just my opinion

It has all infos and specs you need.

Take a look to page 254
Group-13 Wheels, Hubs and Drums
1311- Wheels, Hubs and drums

There you find the Bearings (Cup & Cone) whith the specs.

So you come to Timken 18590 for the Cone
and 18520 for the Cup.

Kegelrollenlager 18590-18520-Q-TIMKEN, In-dia 41.275 mm,
out-dia 73.025 mm, thk. 16.667 mm (found on the Web)
