How does a new shoe fit the inside of the drum if you hold it in there with the parts off the car? The curvature should match...

I've loosely fitted the two remaining shoes into the drum/disc that I'm working on now and the curvature seems to match pretty well. Please see pictures bellow.
On the other two shoes that have already been installed, the drum doesn't fit over them just by a small margin, but enough to make it impossible for the drum to fit even if one would try forcing it on. The total diameter of those two installed shoes is slightly larger then the inner diameter of the drum.
