Rear drums: m.y. and different market

Hi everyone,
here again I need to swap the rear drums because are not in good condition... If I see on the net, there are two kind:

USA model:
- 1979/80 model year
- 1981/85 12A with rear drums.

My USA model is the first and it has those:

with air coolant file all around.


The European Black car I need to check, have different drums and them are not like this... I don't know if they were aftermarket or original Euro model, someone that have a pre-restyling Euro SA22C or know th model could help me?

I could buy the USA model or not? And more, the 1981 drums, were the same or are different for 1979/80 m.y.?
Thanks!

Sorry about the late reply, but they're basicly the same. The 79-80 year have the air cooling all around and the younger year are smooth. That's the only difference

Thanks for reply.
I found the old one in Austria, from a local Mazda dealer.
I saw your sign, I could have somewhere (topic) more info on your Elford?
