Well, you see, I'm a bit of an idiot. I thought that because the res isn't where i'm used to them being. After doing to more research, it seems like its under the car somewhere? Unfortunately, the car isn't parked at my house due to a multitude of reasons, so I'm unable to crawl around it whenever i want. So i didnt see it on the firewall, so i assumed it wasnt there.

The second reason is when looking at rebuild kits for wheel bearings and seals, there were kits under the '39-40 Merc section that were optioned for mechanical brakes and hydro brakes.
