Differences Between 640-641/642 Rear Hub?

I have a Scout rear hub with perfect sprocket threads. The brake cover is that of a 641-2.

I am considering trading off the 641 cover for a 640 cover, or selling it outright & buying the correct one.

As far as hubs go, are the covers interchangeable? Or do I have a 641/642 hub?

Are you talking about the brake backing plate? The hubs are different widths for 1941 ,due to right or left side speedo drive and 1940 is also different. The Virtual Indian web site people should have a better knowledge of.

Yes, the brake backing plate. The hubs are different widths?
