Looking more closely, lend lease is correct. The backing plates are a giveaway to the assembly being GMC. The odd part is the slot for the handbrake operating lever as used on some Chev models that do not use a transmission brake. These slots have no purpose on a CCKW. I've noticed the same thing on another GMC 6x6.
The Studebaker brake drum shown is the later demountable type. The early non demountable type appear similar to the GMC but as lend lease says, they are smaller.
