Hmm, thought I had a photo of them, but can't find it at the moment.

> Do the brake return springs go behind or in front of the shoes?

Behind.  The one with the straight section in the middle goes next to the
slave cylinder.

Yes.  (Sorry, couldn't resist)  One of the square holes goes next to the
slave piston (the handbrake lever engages the hole).  The other shoe goes in
the same orientation (not reversed), so it's square hole goes next to the
adjuster (and doesn't do anything).

At least that's the way mine are put together.
