There unfortunately isn't a guide to tell us exactly what your trailer has so we'll first need to check the axle capacity to determine the correct replacement brake assemblies. If you look at the axle tube there should be a sticker that lists the capacity of the axle. If your sticker is missing then you can also remove the hub and measure the diameter and depth of the assembly as pictured below.
For example, the Dexter Electric Trailer Brakes # 23-26-27 you were looking at are rated for 3,50lb axles and are 10" x 2-1/4". Once we know your capacity or sizing we can then find the correct replacements.
