Default tyres

The front tyres are very strange ... 'INDIA SUPER TRACTION' brand , made in UK . I have couple of them, very old and they came on a CS8 wreck . I believe they could be WW2 vintage tyres ? The 'I' in the hex. mark on the sidewall means 'synthetic rubber' from memory ? Is that correct ?

I can make out 'FOR BRITISH WHEELS ' on the sidewall . No RF marking though .

May have come from an old warehouse cleanout ....
