Brazing is not the same strength as welding. I do not see any kind of heads on those studs, so it is just the braze holding in that tremendous amount of force from coming apart and killing you.
I personally would either get another rim, or remove those studs, clean all signs of brazing, and weld them in properly.
The otter parts manual lists them as the rim for the 9.00-16 and the 10.50-16 tires. Sounds like they are the bog standard 16" rim. I would take Barry's offer of a new rim if I were you.
