That looks "right" (as in, as much of an abomination as it was designed to be) to me.

Spring in the frame near the axle is designed to keep the outer cable for one side tucked out the way.

Floating carrier sprung off the frame, takes the outer of cable 1, and the inner of cable 2. Outer of cable 2 to the frame, near where the return spring for the carrier goes, inner of cable 1 to the cab side of things.

Activating brake pulls inner of cable 1, while outer of cable 1 is held in place on the floating carrier, so engages brake 1.

Floating carrier moving forward against spring tension pulls inner of cable 2, while outer of cable 2 held still by frame, so engages brake 2.

The floating carrier balances the amount it holds back the outer of cable 1 with how much it pulls out the inner of cable 2, thus balancing the brakes side to side.

So I think you have it how it's intended to be, question is, does it work?
