Only one way to find out buddy, strip one of each and see if they are the same!

Eurocarparts have the rear shoes in for £20 a pair. Not the best but would get you motoring again??

Are you talking about swapping the rear shoes or front pads?

The both the drums and the callipers changed through production to larger/smaller combinations but worst case you can just swap the whole thing i.e. on the front it's a straight swap to put the 258mm calliper/disc combination on.
