They are more than likely Hillman Imp parts, and they are junk..... The splines wear badly, and the threaded part stretches as the owner overorques the outer nut to tighten up to take out the wobble, and ultimately breaks off.
The Imp axles has the yoke on the inboard side, then 2 bearing surfaces, then splines, then the threaded portion. The locking nut and lock tab screw on from the outside and tighten onto the outer part of the hub. Does this sound like what you have?
Even if you can find them, the parts are so inferior, that the new set will wear just as quickly. They were improperly broached, allowing too much play in the splines, and the metal was not hardeened enough, leaving them soft and prone to wear.
Probaly most plentiful used in the UK or Australia/New Zealan.
Good luck.......
