Does anyone have a photo of a complete KRW rear axle stand?
I use one all the time. The only thing missing is the drip pan. I can take some photos next week if no one else has any handy.
Here's a link

Here are photos of the one I use at the shop. It will work with Model A rearends but not as well.

Oh to add, the one side allows to flip the housing into the upright position for setup of rear end.
I'm thinking the one with the articulated clamp might have been for a Model T while the other stationary type is for a Model A or V-8 Ford.

The one you show in the picture is not KRW. I believe it is a Dixie Axle Stand. It works well for both front and rear axles.
What I need is a photo that shows the drive shaft support bracket.
It is a Dixie. For as long as I have used it, I thought it was Wilson, never looked that close.

Chris:
If you put wheels under your stand you will find it even more useful
Dean:
I will try and get you some photos tomorrow if I get the time. The original had a cup like the one Chris has but they also had a long angle iron to rest the torque tube on if you miss the cup. At least all three of mine had the angle iron.
Also I took the wheels on the clamps off and installed one foot round bars to act as handles. I makes it a lot easier to tighten the clamps. The wheels have almost no torque.
I also used duck tape to tape pieces of rug inside the clamps so as to not mar the paint on the axles.
Is this the area you are talking about?
and the area of the "T".
