Musselman rear hub and guts date codes

Hi all, thought this was interesting to post. Cleaning musselman rear hub, nondrive side date code N diamond (1948 2nd qtr I believe). Noticed that guts have date code stamps too (matching dates same as hub), on spool & drag and on clutch. Never knew guts were dated. Interesting.
I wonder why mfg would date stamp guts too? Compatibility interchange system?

Not sure when the brass brake shoes were discontinued, but one version had grooves in cross directions.
