Brian,
Probably likely the wheel combination is Packard centres with Ford rims.
Back in the days of my misspent youth, often Ford rims would be reversed on their centres because the inner flange of the Ford rim was angled rather than just being a flat shoulder. Also, the Ford rim may be wider? When finished and chromed, they looked good! Although your rims don't appear to be reversed. And IIRC my brother, at one stage, made up reversed Ford rims on Holden Centres to put on the rear of his mates FJ Holden.
