Thank you all for the responses. At this point, I have decided to reassemble both hubs as they are. The o/s one had to come apart because of loose wheel studs. The bearings are an Indian made brand, turn easily but no play at all. The n/s ones are Hoffman brand made in England and I now believe the minimal play with these is a designed in tolerance, as the bearings appear to be in good shape. I guess when I see one wheel or another part company with the hub, I'll know what the problem was. ;-)
