Read the manual again. These things are not as you expect them to be.
This is quoted from:
Brake Shoes: Lining length-forward shoe (moulded)....10 7/32 in.
Lining length-reverse shoe (moulded)....6 39/64 in.

Installation of Brake Shoes and Linings. Install cam in brake shoes.
Install anchor pin plate on anchor pins; install pins in brake shoes,
and mount assembly on brake backing plate. NOTE: Forward shoe has
longest lining.(this in italics) Install brake return spring, and remove
brake cylinder clamp. Install brake anchor pin lock washer and nuts.
NOTE: Turn brake anchor pins so that punch marks on ends are toward each
other. Do not tighten anchor nuts.(this note also in italics) Install
hubs.(pars. 128 and 141) Make major brake adjustment (par 149b).
