Aha but the FE does have a bolt on retainer. There are 2 holes just near the cable opening for the retainer.
The cylindrical part with the notch match up with a protrusion on the retainer.

Hi Guys

I am installing FE rear brakes onto my standard FJ diff housing, I had a handbrake cable made to FJ specs except with FE ends on it so that it can be used with the FE backing plates. The new cable allows the spring to go into the drum through the hole in the backing plate (as it does with the FJ backing plate), but then there is a cylindrical part on the cable which I can't work out how it is supposed to go, is meant to be inside the brake drum to retain the cable from slipping out of the drum? The FJ cable attached to the backing plate by using the bolt-on retainer, the FE backing plate does not have a bolt-on retainer, so how is the cable retained? The photo below shows the FE cable on top and the FJ cable below:
