Look at the rest of the brake parts. Even if the cylinders look the same, you can identify your type of brakes by matching other components pictured to yours.

FYI- if you have the 3 platform brakes the part number for the aftermarket brake shoes front and rear is set# 84, raybestos still makes on rare ocassion and once in a while you can find them NOS with the p/n on the box but no aplication. If you need front cylinders I have some rebuildable cores with good looking barrels that should be usable with just a honing.

Okay...but I need to rescan one of them. There is a piece of paper which was on the flatbed scanner, which blocked part of one of the brake backing plate illustrations.
