Quite right David. I did a search and it seems that an Australian company that makes agricultural trailers and axles lists hubs with 8 studs and 275mm PCD as 'Bedford DIN', as well as European truck wheel specs. My guess is a lot of truck wheels are reused on trailers and hubs are made to match them. Just someones interpretation I guess.

I also measured a wheel and PCD is as quoted in the Vocab .. 275mm
