I think the dual- diagonals came in the late 60's?
The last I had used the regular rear pads, but at the same time I don't know if any rear disk FoMoCo product uses drum in disk. I don't pretend to know their full line up by any means, but even my current car with a manual brake activates the same rear pads used for braking.
I know MGs went to dual circuit for the '68 m/y(US market only). If that wasn't the year it was required in the US, it was within a year or two of that-British Leyland wouldn't have redesigned the brake system unless forced to do so!
