Yes, the tire mount is a wooden assembly. The triangular frame is built of square cut, 2 x 2, or slightly less size, true dimensional lumber like you used to be able to purchase as standard lumber up until the mid-1950's, when the industry dumbed the sizes down in order to get more board feet of lumber out of any given tree, but still charged us the same amount.
One side of the frame has a board fitted across the centre half which carries the load of the spare assembly and the whole thing is drilled for various hardware.
I will see if I can get you some photos this weekend.
The Prairie Command member who restored one of these vehicles in the 90's was a Jim Wilson if I remember correctly and he moved out of Winnipeg, hence the disappearance of the vehicle.
