Powerwagon was the civi truck. The military ones were 1/2ton "WC's" or 3/4ton "W/C's" and during korea and vietnam they were M-37's. If you are asking if the military axles and differentials will fit into a civilian axle housing, they will. The 1/2 ton's required modification.
The 3/4ton and M-37 differential are identical to the civilian powerwagon . The axle shafts on all four trucks are different. The civilian axle is longer and has an offcenter diff. The WC's had centered diffs, and the M-37 is offset, but it's shorter than the civilian axle housing. Hope this answers your question. It was hard to understand. All hubs are interchangeable except the 1/2ton WC's, they used a smaller spline.
