The shoes he has supplied suit LC & LJ 6cyl front drum brakes. I think they do suit LH/LX and early UC rear drums as LH/LX & UC run larger bore rear wheel cylinders with the short pushrods and a proportioning valve.

Not concorse, but it’s just a matter of welding a section of plate across the opening for the pushrod and they work with the disc front rear slaves.
