None of them are actually "Eatons". The Napco axles were made from the early corporate axles. They are the smaller (half ton) version that was used in the rear of cars and trucks prior to the introduction of the 12 bolt. I believe they were known as HO33, where the bigger versions that carried on until 1972 were the HO52, HO72 and bigger.
