On an 80 plus year old car it is unlikely that things are square (eg. brake shoes in relation to drum) or round (eg. the drums themselves).
So I set up brakes so they rub, just a little.
Suspension movement affecting them? Unlikely unless the run of the back cables is wrong, which often it is.
Fronts coming on when you turn the wheels? Designed in as standard and worse when reversing.
Try it and see.
Getting balance right between fronts and rears, and nearside versus offside rears is important.
At least with your set up it is easier to make small adjustments
