Came out of a 73 Duster BBP 10 bolt cover but it is not oval like a 8 1/4”. It has 10x2 1/2” brakes and C clip axles.

Now why would they make a different 7 1/4”?
Did you notice the 2006 date on the left side. Yes, your chart is more complete. I have never seen that one.That doesn't show all the different 7 1/4s.
That is what I thought seeing the rubber fill plug. Then looking at the shape of the rear cover I said that ain’t right.I was ready to call it an 8.25 but then I remembered seeing them in the 80-89 Chrysler Fifth Avenue cars. Those car axles were 7.25s. I have pulled rear brakes from 2 in the last year.
I think it may be worth trying, because the second Gen 7-1/4 (at least the few I’ve dealt with) had positive axle retention. It may be best to locate a scrap big bolt pattern unit to disassemble to check, though. I think there was an axle spline drive angle change when they changed to a C clip axle, but not sure on the second Gen unit.Now this brings me to the next question. I have another more traditional 9 bolt 2 1/2” tube 7 1/4” that is BBP out of a 1975 valiant. Will a SG out of a early model like a 65 or 66 7 1/4” fit the 75?

The one I have the perches are about 45 inches apart. I have other rears that I can't get to as they are stacked on each other and have other things on top.Yes it does neck down where it goes into the center. But spring pads are 43” like a A body. Has standard size center hole in the perch.
