I can only say for sure about the 16" rims, on the 16" rims there are welded in studs, not bolts, and they are an oddball thread by today's SAE standards (I think it's a BSW fine thread, whatever it was I couldn't find anyone who sold new hardware in a matching diameter and thread pitch). I suspect that if you have regular nuts and bolts holding the wheel halves together that it is a post-war "field" modification.
