Hi Diana,
It does sound like the rear axle has been swapped. tHe numbers for
all of the major components are usually close to each other (within 100
or so). If you supply me with your vehicle number, it is possible that I
will have the numbers for the other major components at home, depends on
how late in 1950 your vehicle number is.
