Measure the drums, should be 8" or 9" if newer model. 

[Big Vern]

All Escort/Cortina/Capri had either 8" or 9" depending on model variant, the brakes won't identify much. Axle width will norrow it down a bit. It does seem likely that Escort van (especially 10cwt) could have had a rear ARB. The mk3 escort van did I think on all variants.

internal its 227mm in new money :-)

[Adrian Southgate]

8.93701 inches...

9 inch drums ... 228.6mm

Self (not) adjusting snail thingy can be accessed via a hole in the front face of the drum. There are also two widths of 9 inch drums... some of the capri's had wider shoes..
