Default Rear brake (drum) pads

Hello again.
Need to changes the shoes on the rear drum brakes, '98 XJ.
Went to auto parts store they said they have 3, maybe 4 options
and they need to see the originals in the jeep so they can compare.

This is my only ride so I'd have to take them off and call a cab.

sounds like the options were 9" and 10" with two different "widths".

Anyway to figure out which shoes fit this girl without take'n her apart?
Can I just take a back wheel off and measure the hub OD on the outside?
I mean, if its a 10" hub on the outside, its got to be 9" shoes, right?

10in drums have ridges on the outside like a bottle cap. 9in drums do not.
