Difficult to tell from the picture but it looks cast then finish machined for the bearing. Are we talking a taper cup and cone here is this a straight roller bearing that goes into a bearing pocket of the axle much like newer rear ends?
Hard to see but its along the bottom edge
This is a taper roller bearing in a brake drum hub from my camper
Get new bearings and races
New bearing new races & new seals, cheap insurance against trailer breakdown. I replace mine every 3 years no matter how good the look & have never had a problem.
Replaced them all. Hard to find not made in China

I've seen some crazy crap happen with trailers, up to a tounge snapping and sending a 20' walkboard right past my head, to the grill of a Dakota. Seen a few that fried bearings and ate the Pave....everyone above has been in this for Along time,and are Excellent Mechanics. Please take their advice.
I did take their advice, i replaced everything including brakes! Works great Im at the campground now
