I'm pretty sure they're different. The drum cable goes through the backing plate and locks in with 3 prongs, the disc stays outside and goes to the caliper.

Cables from the lever to the y are the same. Cables to each individual brake are different.

Wandering around to diagnose my own eBrake issue and saw this, so answering... late, but with it being so hard to search the forums... might be useful for someone in the future.

Yes. The Blackdragon.com catalog has them listed A and B, where A is for rear drum brakes and B is for Disc:

PART

69-206 HANDBRAKE CABLE-LH-REAR "A" RX7 12A ------ DRUM (See the "A"?)
69-205 HANDBRAKE CABLE-RH-REAR "A" RX7 12A

69-204 HANDBRAKE CABLE-LH-REAR "B" RX7 12A ------ DRUM (See the "B"?)
69-203 HANDBRAKE CABLE-RH-REAR "B" RX7 12A

Note that 69-208 and 69-209 are for the same parts for the 84-85 13Bs.
