I guess mentioning that my hubs are manual lock would be important... Sorry I missed that point.
The last time I removed the tires, I did a visual check on the pads, shoes, rotors, and drums... That was about 1,500 miles ago, and before the noises... Unfortunately, I did not check the inner pads on either side. I did not notice any leaking fluids at that time.
30 more minutes until I exchange my keyboard for the wrench...
