Front hub iden***y? These hubs was mounted on my roadster on these spindels and I have no idea what they are from . They have 4 1/2 “ boltcircle And don’t seem to have been altered. I need new bearings and grease seal for them and there’s no number on the old seals :-( the outer bearing number is BOWER 09087. Inner bearing number is BOWER 15118 The grease seals I got from the store is LYO 37002 don’t fit they are 2mm to big on the outer rim :-( Hub has a casted number on it BA1106-B3 and letters KHC on it.

Do you have a dial caliper to measure the hole in the hub that the seal fits into, and the round part of the spindle that it fits over? If so, then we can help you find a seal to fit.
BA 1106-B3 looks like a Ford engineering number for a '52-'54 (and maybe '55-'56) Ford car. KHC is code for Kelsey Hayes Corporation. Is bolt circle 4-1/2"? This should give you a reference point.
He said it's 4.5". I had a feeling that is what it would be. Is the spindle OD the same on the spindles he has, and the 56? Still a good idea to measure everything when looking for seals in situations like this.
The Bower numbers will cross directly to SFK bearings You should be able to take your old seals to your local SKF dealer and have them figure that out too. Bower bearings are going to show up on most bearing charts as BCA as in BCA 09087 or cross to Timken 09087 Looking at the brakes it looks like you have some year of Mopar. The welded wheel studs mean that someone replaced the lug bolts with studs. Still to get the right info the first thing anyone should do when asking a technical question is give us the details that you know on what you are working on and or detailed photos of the axle, spindle, backing plate from both sides and other pieces that may give us positive clues as to what we are looking at. Simply the more information you give us the better answers we give you.
Hagen's cheat sheet. https://hagensautoparts.com/catalog plug in the info you have on what you are working on and go to bearings and they have the BCA / Timken bearing and seal numbers that you can check against your own. I still suggest just taking your bearings and old seal to the local SKF dealer and asking them to cross them though. If you pop the races out you can take them and use those numbers too.
From the pics it looks like you have 48 Ford p***enger brakes, and probably spindles. Those are not 48 Ford p***enger hubs. So I'd bet the bearings and seals are not standard 48 Ford or whatever those hubs are from. They are probably a special combination measured up to mate the two dissimilar items. You are either going to have to measure carefully and search the books, or find a number on the existing part.
I would say that you’ve got a set of pre ww 2 Huthfucnose, apart from curiosity they could very well have been machined to accept the bearings, so your best bet is to use your measurements to do an online search, trying to find a partsman nowadays that can suss this out is horribley painful
