D44 are the same design, but are smaller in diameter.

NAPA part number 7453108
110 dollars for the conversion kit to do both sides.
Warn manual locking hubs NAPA part number 7453112
165 dollars for a set of manual hubs.
Just did that job the weekend before Thanksgiving.
The socket to pull the nuts off a 44 almost goes inside the 50 or 60 spindle tube.
For what it is worth, good luck finding a hex socket to pull the spindle nut off that the automatic hubs use, not one of the 4 different parts store chains here had one in stock.
The nut was so chewed up on the hub that quit working, even if I had a socket it would have been worthless.
The other side was not much better.
I also called Ford, NAPA, Advance Auto, Autozone and Federated Auto Parts for the conversion kit.
The hub conversion kit price was within two dollars at all five.
NAPA and Ford were the only two with them in stock.

I do seem to remember the snap rings being in the conversion kit.
Did that job three weeks ago and it is already getting fuzzy.
The fact it was 10 degrees when I did it may be contributing though.
