Default 40 to 48 front brakes ID

I have 2 drums and 2 backing plates that I want to sell, as I am going disks.

The backing plates are different.

Have been told one is 39 to 42 and the other is 46 to 48.

Just wanting confirmation, so I can advertise correctly...

thanks .

The cylinders look different too, are they the same size internally ?

And is all else swappable/compatible with each other..shoes / springs ?

Looks like one anchor plate is bolted and the other riveted , but are they in the same holes , so swappable if need be too ?

Nope,shoes are different in the hole size at the bottom where the eccentrics are on the 39/41 plate, later cylinders are bigger bore but will interchange.
