Scandinavia Bands - What's the Difference between pre-1926 and 1926-27 versions?

Hi all, how do you tell the difference between Scandinavia bands designed for pre-1926 T's and those meant for 1926-27 T's?

Pre 26 will have 3 of the same narrow width band lining as all 3 drums are narrow. 26-27 will have 2 narrow and 1 wider liner for the larger brake drum.

Everything works in theory.
Reality is how you determine if something works or not.

The 26-27 Model T’s are what Ford called the improved cars.
One of the so called improvements was the transmission which had the wider brake drum. That’s why the Transmission band sets for the 26-27 bands have the 1 wider band in the set.

The older 25 and back T’s have transmission drums the same width. The bands in the 25 and back sets are all the same width.
