Al-Ko hubs by the looks.
Most good trailer places will have the parts.
Bear in mind they are imperial fixings.

Looks to be a fair bit of friction material left on the shoes unless they're contaminated.
I'm sure I've seen a re-lining company on one of the TV resto programs, but probably expensive

well spotted but the left hand shoe is broke in half, half is still in the drum and half on the shoe.

I bought a set of shoes for a twin axle tow-a-van I owned that were Knott brakes and they cost me £130 
That was cheaper than having them relined !

They look like Rubery Owen hubs, FRM in Aldershot are good on all this old gear and will be able to identify or reline what you have there. Gary`s the man to speak to http://www.frmspares.co.uk/

We relined shoes off a winch years ago took a bit of doing. We weren't soaking the liners in hot water long enough to get them plyable enough to bend without breaking. Riveting them on was fun too. I would pay the £20

When we refurbed the brakes on a trailer my son bought, the linings were missing, just the shoes were there. The replacements were huge amounts of money, but I found the local motor factors had a department that relined the shoes. If I recall the two axle sets cost about £70 to do with bonded linings. I've done several sets of riveted ones years ago, not too difficult

I remember watching my dad re-lining his Land Rover SII brake shoes, held on with copper rivets I think?.

It's easy enough if you get the preformed linings, as you say copper or brass rivits. I pop riveted a set on one time, this was on my brothers car. Bought a lining set went to do the job on a Sunday & the rivits were missing, he needed it to be finished, so needs must, out with the rivit gun. It was quite a normal thing to reline the shoes, until the bonded linings became the norm.

Those spring retainers are in two parts, the bit you see in picture two is just a loop on the inside of the backplate, the spring retainer on the shoe has a hook on the end of it. Put a finger on the bit you see in picture two then push and twist the spring inwards.

Look like Peak hubs to me also.
