The drum brake one is only a switch that turns on the warning light in the dash after you lose pressure and your foot goes to the FLOOR! The disc brake on has valves in it.

Heres a pic of a disc brake proportioning valve. The drum brake distribution block is a rectangular brass piece with the switch in it.
