In service they would more likely replace the drum as otherwise there would be an issue with brake linings, keeping parts to stock sizes was the way to go in order to get a quick turnaround. Having worked within the army on vehicle overhauls and repairs I know their way of thinking. So to sum up, probably not been skimmed before. I cannot remember off hand the diameter I had the drums machined out to, but not a significant amount.
