As I recall it, the brakes on Auster J series weren't worth a pinch of pelican poop either. Heel brakes FFS. Lucky that landing speeds were low.
I flew a J1N, you are spot on, heel brakes, I could never work out of they were working or not! Luckily I was on grass most of the time, I had the shock of my life when I landed on a sealed runway one day!
