Default No Colin

I'll answer in a roundabout way Colin,

Wheels taken off a Chev Blitz go straight onto a Ford. In my experience with a Cab 12 F60L and a F15 2WD.

The only variation I can think of is if you've got a Kiwi truck with Clarke diffs, then they have different wheel stud spacings and therefore different rim's.

Default They are identical

That's the easy answer, with the exception you mention of not only the Kiwi C8AX but all C8As which have 6 stud wheels. And what about the F8 with it's 13" rims? Anyone care to clarify the stud pattern there?

Also the same as a Humber one ton, and I guess that means the Ferret as well.

The stud pattern is a British pre-war thing..also used on contemporary civilian Bedfords and maybe other pommy makes too ... I think the British WD did some research with DUNLOP in the 1930's .. they jointly developed the RF tyre maybe and the 900-16 military tyre .
