Here's some pics of the rear disk setup. The caliper is just mocked up on the rotor, not actually bolted on.

Booty fab bracket



Mocked up

Bit of an update. Sold off my old front rotors and calipers I was going to use for rear disks and bought some Montero Sport rear rotors and calipers. Almost have the rear disks done, just need to throw a couple more coats of paint on the brackets and bolt it all up.

Do you have more information on your rear disc breaks?  I did a swap I found on Pirate which uses stock front discs on a rear axle and uses a bracket much like the one you used.  I ended up doing a cartwheel in the truck and totalling it because the brakes didn't work right (Yeah I am an idiot for driving it).  It would lock up the front and pull hard to the drivers side.  The swap eliminated the parking break but it looks like your swap still has a drum center for the parking brake.  I would guess the brakets I had would still work with those rotors.  My swap also requires the axle shafts to be machined and the rotors go on the back side rather than over the front.  So carrying a spare axle shaft would require machining one and having a rotor already installed.  Tried to go cheap and it bit me in the butt.
