See your dilemma as things sure do get confusing.

According to parts books, the 55 senior used the same 15x6 senior wheel as far back as 23rd series. Part #426834 without riveted clips.

If that is case, question is were the full wheel covers available on 23rd series or did they use the three quarter size like 21 and 22nd. Need a 50 expert to chime in there.

If only had smaller size, then seems the DSC07034 would be proper since the small caps were also available on other years in that group.

That would probably make the ones without nubs 56. My 56 has those but had assumed they were 55 because of locating hole and it had a 55 rear axle when I got it.

Parts car red & creme no tire looks like may be #403100 for 22-23rd with riveted clips but missing the clips.

Are the hole sizes the same? Black no tire looks like it might be different (larger bolt holes) unless optical delusion.
