Identify Brake Shoes & Linings

Can anyone tell me what these brake shoes are for (maybe you VL, UL and Servicar guys)? The look like OHV mechanical shoes and linings, but they take seven rivets and the linings are longer than panhead and knucklehead linings. Also, when I disassembled them from the backing plate (same backing plate as pan & knuckle) I noticed a different (heavier) stud as the anchor pin and a heavier return spring than the pan/knuckle. I show these parts in the attached photos (IF I attached them correctly). The photos also show the shorter pan/knuckle replacement linings next to the linings that I removed from the subject shoes.
Thanks...

Dear Bill, the stud looks like the 1935/6 VL one and the spring could be 4048-30 used on the VL rear brake next to the stud. It's easier to look at the casting numbers on the brake shoes. The VL has 293-30 spread across the two shoes for 1930, then 293-31 for 1931-36 when the thicker linings were fitted. I think the UL ones are 293-38 but with the top cover and cotter pin used on the pivot stud.

Thank you Steve - I'll take a look at the casting numbers...

The casting numbers appear to be 294-31. Any Ideas?? Maybe a slight modification in the casting to 293-31 ??

Dear Bill, more like my memory failure. Those will be the 1931-36 VL rear brake shoes.

Thanks Steve. I'll probably try to sell them at Jefferson and I want to properly identify them...

Bill, where are you set up at Jefferson? I'd like to come by and meet you. It's nice to put a face to a name! Dale

I'm not sure yet Dale - I haven't reserved yet, but I'll most likely be next to the H.D. Generator guys - Rich Brown Jr. and Senior.
