Brake shoes for my '59 PV445/Duett 444-544

I purchased brake shoes for my '59 Duett/445, from Skandix (Skandix part # 1000242 & 1000243 (front & rear). Unfortunately, they are incorrect. I'm guessing perhaps the brake shoes I need might be a year earlier &, unfortunately, Skandix does not carry them.
Anyone know another source for brake shoes, let's say for a '58 PV445/Duett? Not sure how to proceed.
Thanks
Jim

I can add some additional info.:
The brake shoes I am looking for were made from about '47-'58 & are non-riveted WITHOUT star wheel brake shoe adjuster between shoes at bottom of brake drum.
Anyone know where I can get these? Thanks!

Both swedish treasures and VP auto parts show a relining kit for these but no complete shoes. Makes me think that is the only stuff available. There are shops online that reline your shoes but i have never used them.

I'm sure this goes without saying, but be sure to have them "arced" to your drums before installing. Too often this step is missed and creates more gremlins to troubleshoot down the road.
