They had a few different styles of brake shoes- these were the "top of the line" for the threaded post shoes (there was another style [black aluminum] of threaded finned shoe)- and there were two different style of finned cantilever brake shoes.

That formula has been licensed to Kool Stop and has been in production for years as the Kool Stop salmon pad compound.
