99 wheel bearings
Thank you Robert and Tony, you comments are greatly appreciated, I must assume it’s a modification as I failed to mention the brake is a twin leader.

Some later (Commando) hubs have 3 bearings . I would compare your hub with another STD one to see what has changed. If it has been modified to take an extra bearing (and it works) I see that as a good thing.
