Type 3 backing plates are all the same minus the adjusting holes on later ones. You can even use Thing or Type 4 plates as well.

I have one side, NOS, but not a pair...

If you plan to use Type 3 drums, they you HAVE to use the correct backing plate and wheel cylinders. Type 1 stuff will not work.
