But these are Aust made wheels. Why would they have sent them to Canada or US to apply the rubber, then ship them back to fit to LP Carriers? That just runs the gauntlet of Jap Subs twice.

The Aust rubber was done by Goodyear Tyre and Rubber, while the Kiwis used Reid Rubber for their wheels. Aust Goodyear rubber is trapezoid in cross-section, while Reid Rubber has a dimple in the sides, sort of hour-glass shaped.
