Typically if there is any fluid seeping past the seal, then replace it. Better safe that sorry. Also, since the back is always a pain to pull apart, I try to refresh everything to avoid having to go back in there again.
I'll pull the front wheel cylinder off and see if NAPA has a match. I agree, I'd rather be on the safe side.
The car had a frame-off restoration sometime in the last 20 years, and all the brake components were replaced, axles serviced, etc at that time. The car has probably only seen a few thousand miles since then. Besides a bunch of brake dust and some unpainted surfaces, the rear brakes looked excellent. I pulled everything apart to check the wheel cylinders, check for axle leaks, and eval the shoes. I feel comfortable leaving the rears as is . Should I need to get back in there, it will not be difficult. The drums came off without too much effort.
