I think you are correct, Tony.
There was a time when one rear wheel locked on the first application of the day, about 50 yards off the drive.
Reversing a little freed it, I thought no more about it - the brakes often need an application or two to settle down.
We've done probably 300 miles since then, the brakes as good/bad as they ever were.
When re-lining from some I had in stock, I found two similar with cracks starting from a mid rivet hole.
I think I have the same linings on the other three wheels, they all look ok.
I thought they were supplied new about three years ago, but maybe not.
