Done a few handbrakes and never seen any pitting on the inside of the drum, probably the shoes are glazed and when roughed up with a dreadnought file and adjusted you'll notice a marked improvement.

when i got my Tourer the insides of the "drums" were so pitted I changed the drums/discs.
The rust where the pads touch is not the surface rust you get when the car has been standing, this is eating into the disc. I've seen some really bad ones on another car, so bad I spoke to the driver.
