To add to the info I posted above about the HO52, a 14 bolt Detroit Locker can be used in the HO52 carrier and you use 14 bolt axles.
Also 14 bolt drum brakes can be installed on the HO52 which is nice because I believe brake parts for these old axles, especially drums are hard to get.
Jeremy, Jbclassix has a nice write up about the brake drum swap.
