What Info Is Needed to Pick Out Brake Assembly Replacements for Trailer

Question:

Can yall help me identify what electric brakes to buy on what I think is a 8k axle with hydraulic brakes at the moment. It was made in 1983ish and the current brakes are mounted to the axles with 4 bolts.

Based on the age of the trailer is it probably a long shot that current parts will fit as typically stuff that old is outdated. We would need to know the diameter of the hub's drum as well as the width and the axle capacity basically. I attached a help article that covers how to add brakes to a trailer that will be helpful as well.
