Can anyone hepl me with identifying my sons front hubs?
He has a 1964 Beetle. Whenever he orders bearings or hubs they are the wrong ones. These are the ones fitted to the car.....

These are the ones he got when he ordered new ones.

I'll take a wild stab at it.

All the way thru '65, the front drum was P/N 113 405 615A
and it used tiny ball bearings.

Beginning '66, the wheel bearings (and shoes) were changed
and the drum bores revised. The new P/N is 131 405 615A

If not careful, the numbers can easily be transposed and the
computer will ship the wrong part.
