Are the front and rear wheel cylinders the same on a '57 type one?

Front cyl: up to Sept 57, 19.05mm, part# 113 611 055.
Rear cyl: Oct 52 - Sept 57, 17.5mm, part# 113 611 053.

Thanks for the information, I was told that they are the same by the person who sold me four of the 19s. When I pulled my drums I found 19s up front and 17s rear. I was confused. Will the 19.05mm cylinders work in the rear?

It's not something that I've ever tried, or would consider trying. If it fits, it may 'work', but you have to consider the cyl. volume increase and the master cyl. capacity with safe limits. Also there will be a pressure difference involved but I don't expect that's very much. Fit the correct parts and know that it's right.
