It looks like the 7.5's drums are an inch bigger. The Mustang got bigger front brakes in '88 I believe (11" vs. 10") . The 7.5 I'm looking at is a '86 T-Bird (10" drums) versus my '92 Mustang GT's 8.8 (9" drums). The year of the vehicle might play into this question.
Edit: From what I can see all year Mustangs have 9" rear brakes. If your 7.5 is a "non-Mustang" and has 10-inchers, I'd swap the backing plates and drums for a "bigger brakes" upgrade on the 8.8.
