Expert Reply:
You would be able to add brakes to your axle, but it would require you to have a brake mounting flange behind each hub assembly, which you may not have with an axle without brakes. You would need to get the properly sized flange for your axle and have them welded on by a qualified welder; I've added a link to our page with each of our brake mounting flanges on them for you.
I've also added a link to help articles on what you would need to add brakes to your trailer once your flanges are installed.
