South of Border Duster brake Nightmare. Anyone know brakes?

Hello. I purchased this 1971 duster that had a paint job and interior air cleaner that stated it was in the Carrera panamericana inmexico. In fact they said it was purchased down there new. The brake front cylinders are unlike anything anyone has ever seen. The left cyl. Is the stock front left brake cylinders pulled off the car that had been on since manufacture. They are not the standard 9 inch brake cylinders. They are not the standard 10 inch brake cylinders. Classic industries is stumped.



No one knows what model number or where these stock brakes cylinder came from I'm hoping there's some expert that knows that this is off a blah blah because there was a shortage during the blah blah. Any help would be greatly appreciated as we've done everything else to the car and this is the last detail that we just can't seem to crack.

The simplest fix would be to install a disk setup…

Thank you so much for the referral. Let me know your email for venmo so I can buy you a coffee. The brakes cylinders worked! So I guess in the 1971 part shipments were late and the plant just decided to add whatever cylinders off the 69 valiant. I guess things are different in those days.
