technician a only

technician b only

both technicians

neither technician

Explanation:

For Question 1: Forward and rear-facing brake shoes are not identical (they have different designs for proper function), so Technician A is wrong. Darker linings are not a universal indicator for front placement, so Technician B is also wrong.
For Question 2: Brake lining edge codes can identify the manufacturer (Technician A is correct). However, same manufacturers use different codes for different friction materials, so Technician B is wrong.

Answer:

Question 1: Neither technician
Question 2: Technician A only
