But the actual figure is still of interest, as it might have been more accurately rounded to either 265mm or 270mm.
Tony,
I have no idea why you are comparing Bedford from 50’s and 60’s as none of their military trucks in that period used the WD divided rims. The RL and MK had different rims to each other and were 3-piece type, so this just muddy’s the water.
