Thank you Mel for pointing out the pins are in backwards .I should have rectified that before the photo shoot . In one of the pictures you can see the drum had been rubbing on the backplate so if fitted the pins would have fouled for sure . I bought this pair for $ 40 at the "Big Three Meet " Qualcom Stadium in San Diego about ten years ago . The seller had rebuilt them with all new bushes ,linings etc etc but then went to V8 hydraulics . It was too good a deal to pass up . I have seen the "polished pins" in many backplates it seems quite common maybe because the cotters ( split pins in England ) are easier to fit that way around .
