Never seen a thick and a thin but the one with the longer lining should go twards the back.

the linnings are the same length. chiltons says one is a primary the other a secondary but doesnt tell the difference . tried one side both ways it all fits either way.

Well if you can't get an answer I would put the thick one twards the back because in self energizing drum brakes the rear shoe does more work than the front.
