L-reg be 93/94 
Dunno if manufacturer is an issue with drums and shoes, should be able to get the right part if you tell your local factor the reg no. and what you need... Just don't get the original Fiat bits unless you're loaded / have to 'cos no one else has it / trying not to void the warranty ... But mostly 'cos the Fiat bits aren't cheap and it all works... sort of!!
Happy hunting!

Funny you should ask this now as I have just discovered that there are variations on the rear wheel cylinders. I bought some off ebay that I was sure would be OK. They looked identical but had a different thread at the rigid pipe union. This caused me to cross the thread and have to replace the pipe At the factors, the computer was giving him Bendix and Lockheed systems for the same car (J reg). I got the right one in the end! My advice would be to check it carefully at a factors and make sure the threads are the same!

Unfortunately not. Apart from the guage of the thread the cylinders appear to be identical. The cylinder cost me less than £7 from the factor so you are not likely to save much once p&p is paid. Master cylinder would be more expensive though I'm guessing.
Only two types of shoes I think. The late Pandas had a a ratchet mechanism instead of springs - yours might be ratchet actually. It's easy enough to check once you've got the drums off.
