Re: rear brake confusion
292, sorry my pic looks so bad. I don't have a after pic yet, but you can see you are pretty close. Just missin one spring and the grey spring needs to be rotated and hooked in there a little different. Like the orange one in your pic top left.

Re: rear brake confusion
There is an "arm" that the ebrake cable attaches to, that then is attached to the front shoe. There should be a clip that holds the arm to the shoe.
I just completely disassembled mine yesterday. No, I didn't take any pix. But, I do have my '69 Shop manual and a little experience....hopefully, it'll be enough. At Sears, we'd do one side at a time....to save the other for a reference. Sometimes, the reference side was even correct before we tore it down.
