To choose a compatible hub assembly for any spindle the key is knowing the inner and outer bearing part numbers, or if they are not available, precise dimensions of the spindle at the points where the bearings and grease seal ride. These points on the spindle are noted on the diagram I linked for you. Once you know the bearings this will tell you which hubs will fit properly.
You also need to select hubs based on the weight load that will be put on them. It appears you have a fabricated cart that uses the hub to allow some sort of tank to rotate on it. Be sure to select a hub that can handle the weight you're putting on it.
Your photo appears to show a 5- or 6-lug idler hub. This may be due to distortion of the photo. In any case I have linked our main page for all EZ-Lube trailer idler hubs that fit 10-inch wheels.
