Cub Rear Wheel Differences

I'm cleaning up a bunch of cub rear wheels and noticed they have different mounting bolt brackets. After cleaning I found them stamped Goodyear or Firestone. The Goodyear are fastened with 2 rivets and have a single tab for centering the wheel and the Firestones have 4 rivets and 2 tabs. Were these used on different years or just randomly dispersed though the years? First pic is Firestone, second pic Goodyear.

I don't have an answer to your question, but in the following link to TM Tractor's picture archives, you will see a different type attachment of the rear wheel to the rim:

They were both used. Firestone and Goodyear just had diffeernt styles. They both fit all model years,
