The CJs used a small drum brake around 9" in diamber. The Willys Wagons and Willys Pickup used larger brakes. The picture on top is from a 1950 CJ-3A with the small brakes. The picture below is from a 50s Willys Wagon with the large 11"x2" brakes. The Willys Wagon and Willys Pickup version is alos much wider than the CJ version.
