Accordng to TM 9-2330-202-14&P the axle load is 2640 lbs or 1198.6 kg.
Technically the axle should be good for 4400 lbs or 2000 kg with the propper tires. The overrun brake head is good for 6000 lbs. You will find that on the left side of the housing stamped in the sheet metal.

Best guess would be 200-225 lbs. The drums with hub weigh 50 lbs each. Backing plates with brakes another 12 lbs each.

Not sure on the axle tube, but I would think another 75-80 lbs.
