Question 1/2 ton drum brake Q?

I seem to remember some one saying that the drums are the same front and rear. (except fronts are rivited on)
Would this be the same for a 12 bolt leaf spring truck?

Basicly, if I grabbed the rear drums off a leaf spring truck, would I be able to use one on my coil rear and the other up front?

They are the same and interchangeable. I know this is true for a half ton. Not sure about 3/4 ton and up though.
