Just lucky enough to get a full set of 356 brakes complete to add to my bug. But not sure what they are.
All the sets I have seen are different, mine have holes drilled around the outside edge all the way around.
Was told they might be a special racing set?

Anyone know for sure what these might be?

They look like "A" drums that have been drilled. "A" drums were late 1950's. Can you post pics of the backing plates and wheel cylinders as well?

I will get some more photos when I can and add them.

The holes really look factory (or very well done if done later) They are drilled at a 45% angle and spaced perfect.

Thanks for the help
