Default 1957 Country Sedan front brakes

Hi guys,
I bet someone can educate me.
I´m checking over new to me ´57 Country Sedan , witch has "brakes overhauled"
Lines are new and internals look new also , but at front I can see linings between the drum and backing plate.
I measured that brake drum should go inwards 5/8 to be at right depth.
Bearings and races are properly assembled.
Question is are there drums with different "dish". Width of the drum looks to be right or have they changed wrong hub or maybe wrong hub and drum.
Work has been done while ago , so I can't say which part is new and which isn't.
Car has sit still in the carport years after that.
I did check Mac´s , Kanter and others but info is very limited.

Thanks,
Ari
