Shawn,

I can't help with the early swivel axles.  The swivel axle you mentioned 
(BN2 - BJ7) is part number 1B4517.  On the two that I looked at there is 
a (forging?) number on the lower inboard side, between the two holes for 
the steering arm.  The number is 1B4518 (off by one).

The inside diameter of the outer bearing is 7/8".  On the later swivel 
axles (BJ8), the same diameter is 3/4" and there is a left and a right.  
The "diameter" that the inboard seal runs on is a separate piece.

Cheers,

Bob Haskell
