You are correct, rod then cable, the lug on the forks was never removed.

Hi Kim

The forks on my 1941 project came with remains of the brake rod & a Bakelite side damper

The fork blade is approximately 1/2” shorter than the more common later war type blade,

My 1940 fork blades are also the shorter type to suit the brake rod and of lighter weight as is the front frame section

The threaded lug remained in place in the construction despite the change in length & replacement of the brake rod with a cable
