    I don't think there is any difference, as they are both 'full size' Buicks.
    However, a Hollander exchange manual, or part number comparison would confirm that ! :Do No:

    Measure & make sure the diameter is no more than 12.090". There is a company that will reline them. Haven't used them so have no reference or experience.

    They are both 12" x 2 1/4" for the Fronts -- and I have N.O.S. ++ Asbestos ++ Brake Shoes --- and for these ALUMINUM drums ---
    you would be craaaaaaaaaaazy to use anything other than N.O.S. ++ Asbestos ++ .............
