Default Brake backing plate ID

I have some front & rear backing plates I can't identify. I know what '39-41 & later 40's look like, but these stumped me. They have pins to mount the bottom of the Lockheed shoes instead of bolts. Need some help. Thank you.

The ones off my 47 1/2 ton look like that.

Plates shown are '45 thru '48.
'39 thru '44 have the eccentric lower anchors.

russcc ......If you'll refer to the GREEN-ish backing plate in my pictures (which is '42-'48), I also see POSTS like what you show. Can you show a picture more to the side rather than STRAIGHT-ON?

To my eye the black ones look identical to the green one in every detail.
What makes you say you are familiar with late 40s plates but these are different? They look like late 40s plates to me.

Thank you for the responses. The B plates have pins at the bottom instead of through bolts for mounting the shoes. The shoes are retained by a plate slid over the pins, and held in place with cotter pins. Not like any 39-48 I have. The green one that V8 C posted looks like the outside of the plate, no bolt holes, pin anchors. Will get an inside side photo to post shot to show the mounting pins with cotter pins.

Those are 42-48 Lockheed. 39-41 had the holes.

42s are the same as 41s. The later type with fixed pins are 46-48.
