Should be!, the only difference being the handbrake lever, which clips on and off the shoes otherwise all the same......

I think the wheel cylinders are 19 mm on the front and only 17 on the rear.

For got to say that on the later wide 5 the front shoes are wider than the rears.
Make sure that the adjuster screws match the ends of the brake shoes as well. as there are curved and flat type.
