I've no idea I'm afraid... but one thing is clear: not the original ones

What’s the source of the photo, age and where it was taken?

Lots of old Brit, US stuff that could well have been fitted from commer, dodge etc. But would need to see rims to correctly identify...know some Japanese pickup wheels fit the 69 and UAZ, but the jap stuff from that era was mostly jeep copies/under licence built stuff

The hubs are 5.5 PCD or approx 140 mm the center hole is 4" or 102 mm. You have to be careful of the offset as the steering arm can rub on the inside of the rim. The normal tyre is 16 - 6.00 cross ply, or 205 80 R16 will fit the rims. The tyres shown are much wider so they may have fitted spacing rings between the brake drum and wheel. From memory the offset on the standard rim is around 40mm.

It is actually 6.50 16 and the 205 is generally going to be too wide for the original rims

thanks memory can be a funny thing it is 16 x 6.5 . The 205 80 R16 is the maximum size but the 175 80 R16 is closer which is used on the London Taxi and can be bought on ebay.
