As far as I know, all carrier wheels are bored to the same size of 110mm.
BTW Robert, Dress makers use cm.

Here are the only markings on this peculiar 19*inch wheel . The spokes are exactly the same as a regular Carrier wheel . The inside diameter of the hub is 90 mm ( i am not a dress maker ) instead of the regular 110 mm .

Here to the left in green a track adjusting wheel marked FM 42 . To the right the subject wheel in reddish primer paint . Same in every aspect but for different diameter hubs . What is it ?

Your first, and so far it appears your only clue: the upper case letters ‘GAU’.
Have look for some casting numbers in the tire portion. They may guide you closer to the G166 southern provenance.

Michael , you are an ace : T-16 ! I have a T-16 track adjusting wheel mixed in with the other Carrier wheel barn finds .... Now that’s too bad because the tyre is excellent on it and i can’t use it . That was the reason i had chosen it out of a big lot of them. What does GAU stand for ?

It is interesting that our southern cousins used the industry standard bearing sizes in the idler wheel as opposed to the heavier raced bearings in the Canadian carriers. I wonder if the road wheels are the same. The common industry standard for a 40mm bore is either 80mm or 90mm OD, a 6208 or 6308 bearing. The Canadian carriers, and maybe the Australian and British built ones, used the heavier raced 6408 bearings.
