69 S2 brakes

Ok so I just picked up a 1969 S2 Vixen and have a question about the brakes. The master cylinders have all been changed out as well as the pedals. In my understanding the S2's all had dual circuit brake systems and starting in 69 they used the TR6 booster and master cylinder. This car has only a single circuit brake system. I'd like to at least get the pedals back to original as whats in it now they are offset worse than normal and that makes driving it a little...interesting. If anyone could provide any information especially with pictures of the original setup that would be great.
 
Here's what the one in my car looks like. It matches up with what British Parts NW is selling for the TR6.

old post, when my brakes started giving me trouble and I priced the TR6 pieces I went to a GM
master cylinder and have had no trouble since.
The DOT 4 fluid or better is a must, I have had to replace everything rubber to learn this lesson.
