Posted here are two photos.

They show a 2" wide front brake shoes as used only on F15, F15A, and F30 CMP vehicles and the 3 1/2" wide rear brake shoes which appear to be used on all other models front and rear according to MB-F1 U-9. Check section however for specifics. The F15 and F15A rear shoes in addition have a pin pressed into the shoes at the top for the hand brake actuating lever.

Note the 2' wide front one is shod with a modern non-asbestos brake lining, grey in colour.
The 3 1/2" wide rear one is a NOS I referred to previously with the greenish/blue coloured lining.

The person who informed me it contains asbestos was running a truck brake business for 40 years and just recently closed shop so I believe he knows his brakes.

Cheers,
