Yes that is correct and your hub will have been made in 1933. As such it will probably have some small differences in the internals from later years - I have only ever seen one 1933 example prevbiously. Changes were made to the ball bearings that allow the gear ring/sprocket carrier to rotate - the ones in early gears were 3/16in and perched precariously during assembly on a shoulder; latetr hubs used 1/8 ball bearing in a V shape track that made assembly far easier.
