The IRS drums do not fit the solid axle cars "out of the box", although I
suspect they could be modified to fit.
And, the 240Z Alfin drums do not fit any Triumph "out of the box", but
likewise can be modified to fit TR3-6 with 9" rear Girling brakes.
At one time, Moss listed the same 9" drum for all TR3-6 with 9" brakes, but
I believe this was an error, glad to hear they've corrected it.
I've driven a bunch of miles in my TR3A and never had to replace rear drums
