Bill Williams is right they do fit.
But they are on the edge of surface allowance.
If you are useing 90 year old drums, they will be worn. So the 1 1/4 will span the 1 inch wear. So unless you scim the drums even thinner to get a flat surface, the 1 1/4 will be worse than 1 inch.
The question you need to ask, with there being so many worn old brake drums out there. Why put 1 1/4 shoes into 1 inch drums in the first place.
There are millions of 1 1/4 inch drums out, I would expect the reson why they are not seen so often. Is because they are worth very little.
