Junior and Senior had different brakes and springs for 55-56. However, unlike the Senior (and many other) cars, The Juniors used same return springs for the primary (leading) and secondary (trailing) shoes and front and rear axles - 8 pieces of the same P/N did a Clipper the whole way around. I didn't check, but suspect bet your 54 follows the same pattern.

What may be needed is a view of a Junior car with brake springs correctly installed. It's hard to say what kind of work was done to your car between the time that the Packard dealer network evaporated and you found it.
