in it's 40+ years of existence, one of the backing plates could have been changed. Just take the wheel cylnder off and go match one up. I don't know why you are changing them as they don't appear to be leaking. Pull back the rubber and see if fluid comes out, if so then replace, otherwise they are still good. For now anyway.
