The Bendix drums are 12” inside diameter. Lockheeds are 14” inside diameter. Are you simply measuring outside diameter? You clearly have the emergency brake drum on the transmission as would be Bendix. And there is no brake cable in your picture which would signify a Lockheed.

Not sure you’re gonna be happy with 16.5s. More common to use 16s both front and rear. Stu
