Eis and other brake manufacturers have a catalog of brake parts illistrations.
Not found on computer, to my experience. I looked at pictures to find wheel cylinders for Lincoln backing plates.
Old time type auto parts stores are a treasure trove of such information.
Use this as an addendum to brake drum diameter, shoes width.
And, yes, pictures don't tell all but it gives a place to start.
You may get by by putting in new wheel cylinder cups.
