I has been a very long time ago that I had worked on a european car and as I recalled you're right about the brake shoes linings being equal length. On an American car they're not (attached is a better picture of what I would have needed if I kept drum brakes on my 1964 1500 and it show the different between liner length). The different in length, as I recall from school, has to do with normal driving. 99% of the time you are driving forward and as you step on the brake the linings act as a wedge on the drum. As the lining wear the aft lining will wear more than the front one, so they made the aft lining longer on a single wheel cylinder design. Now that I think about the european cars that I had worked on was a dual wheel cylinders brake (two cylinders per wheel) and with that setup the linings would be equal length.
As far as the wheel cylinder specs, contact the manufacturer for it at:

Sorry if I wasn't much help.
