Check here for the options:

The desired one is the Late (1944-1945) 3/4 ton axle with 9-5/8" differential. This is basically the same one you have just centered.
Next would be the Early (1942-1943) 3/4 ton axle with 8-3/4" differential. The linked site describes the modifications required.
Not the easiest part to get but not unobtainable.
I think VPW also sells a conversion studs if you don't have the 9-5/8" differential housing (vice drilling and re-tapping the holes).
