The Canadian manual UC-F1 quotes 14" so looks like the drums might have been skimmed. Bad practise to shim between lining and shoe, best solution is thicker linings, you know the standard lining thickness from the manual. The brake reliners will work it out from there. They can profile to fit the drum.

I am surprised you never inspected the brakes earlier on, a crucial area, being steering and brakes. Check the hub bearings for pitting too, due to condensation and standing around.
