it looks like a disc drum set up prop valve to me, but I dont see the little bleed valve you push in to bleed the system. I dont mean to correct you cdowns but I just swapped to disc earler this month and that was one of my issues as well, this is not from a drum drum setup.
I say double check the calipers, theyre cheap to replace if theyre sticking and also makes sure the caliper pin bushings are not binding the bolt. also make sure you properly bench bleed the mater cyl.
looking at the pic again you CAN see the plunger thing, its the same shade as the exhaust manifold and hard to see but it is there!, Now I say re-bleed the whole system and do a search on how to bleed using that plunger in the prop valve as I havent learned how yet
