Carl, the rear brake set up on my 126 looks much the same as your 136. There is a small pressed metal cover on the side of those brass blocks to help keep the grease in and dust out. See photo of mine (with 40 years of road grime).
I don't have a spare but they would be easy to make.
I have not found Technical letter 1781, and my car does not have front brakes but I doubt that the special tools shown are essential. I set my brakes so that all levers are as close as possible to maximum mechanical advantage when applied . You already know this.
I suggest you post a copy of Technical Letter 1781 and the pictures of the tools, someone else might be able to help.
