The number you listed for your brake assemblies doesn't cross reference with anything, but there should still be a way for you to determine what your axle capacities is.
First place I would check is the plate near the coupler of the trailer that will have the VIN listed. The axle capacities and overall capacities of the trailer should be listed there.
You can also determine the axle capacities by measuring their diameter.
Typical Axle Diameters Based on Axle Capacity
- 1,000-lb - 2,000-lb Axles: 1-1/2 inch - 1-3/4 inch diameter
- 3,500-lb Axles: 2-3/8 inch diameter
- 6,000-lb - 7,200-lb Axles: 3 inch diameter
- 8,000-lb Axles: 3-1/2 inch diameter
- 9,000-lb Axles: 4 inch diameter
- 10,000-lb Or more axles: 5 inch diameter
