The hand brake should be located on the back of the transfercase.  The rear drive shaft would then attach to the drum.  Checking the Service Manual, the setup is illustrated in Section P and it states this style was found on CJ-2a thru CJ-5/6s.

I don't have the time-line, but the earliest (possibly just military) had an external band that "squeezed" the drum.  After that, they more closely resembled a stock drum with the shoes on the inside. 

At the top of this forum are images of a 3A and 3B.  Clicking on them will take you to the respective pages for lots of info.  The original author of the 3A Page had an article on installing a PTO.  It shows the hand brake drum on the back of the transfer case (right next to the PTO):

The 3B's have the same hand brake.  From the 3B Page:
