They should be mirror image - and only one shoe has the 'indent' for the adjuster cam anyway - so it's hard to go wrong!
Clearly shown on page M 14 of the Manual - Fig M 22.

If both shoes have an indent then they are front brake shoes

The 'indent' shoe is the same as a 7" front shoe anyway - I have used 2 X front shoes on the rear brakes without any problems - have to use them up somehow!

Check that both the indent shoes have not been fitted on the same side
