MOTORCRAFT BRF1427 is supposed to be the OE
Any reason other than price to choose one over the other?

In my limited Ford Experience, the OE line (BRF) uses a different material and includes the hardware that you'd expect.
The BR line is closer to aftermarket.
This is a good question for @bdcardinal

We sell very few of these anymore, I don't even stock them because of the low movement. I had to enter these and convert them to the long number since we are penalized financially for billing out short numbers on ROs now. Anyway, we sell the BR line more on these because they are closer while the BRF ones are 2 days out usually. Actually what usually happens is people don't want to wait so we have to hit up O'AutoUndercar for whatever they have.
Thanks all, Javier good catch I could not even find that with google.
If this is what I need I’ll go BRF.
Having a weird issue where it seems the shoes are sticking to the drum … at least that’s what it seems. Couple times it happened a little gas broke it loose but now the truck will not move will only spin the right wheel, because it doesn’t move back ward either and is on a hill I suspect stuck brake vs broken diff (not unheard of in a 7.5). I’m away so this is FaceTime diagnosis… don’t mind waiting for parts …

Be glad you can still get OEM drums and shoes at a fair price 
The last movement I have on the BRF set was in 2018 selling them wholesale with no movement before that going back 13 years. The longer number is F77Z-2200-BA
The BRs we last sold in March and December of 2021 before that. The long number is LU2Z-2V200-F

To bring this to a close, this is what I found when I took it apart:
I needed it rolling so I put one O'reily Drum and a set of O'reily shoes.
Not impressed with those so I have the correct Motorcraft parts to rebuild them now.

Assuming that's even a real question the best answer i can give you is that if you held them both in your hand you wouldn't need to ask.
COO is but one piece of Quality, the other is oversight and with Ford / Motorcraft overseeing it this stuff is OE quality.
What was the friction code on these? GF? EE?
