Hey Marc,
If they don't have chunks missing and you get the tyres, you could have them filled so they become solid inside. They have a process of injecting something that hardens up to the consistency of soft rubber similar to silicon. Its solid but not hard as a rock so still gives a decent ride. And it is supposed to help hold the old tyres together so the sidewalls won't split and come apart. If I hard wartime rubber, that's what I'd do to preserve it.

Hi David,
Thank you for the tip. This filling with rubber will take the air pressure of and that is a good thing on these old tyres.
I had only heard of "liquidish" rubber that you can rub in the cracks and it will then set and hide the cracks. Cheers,

We used foam filled tires on all our 4wd forklifts in Afghanistan. It almost makes the tires indestructible. Large sidewall cuts that would normally require the tire to be replaced could be ignored. I cannot comment on what the heat buildup would be with old WW2 rubber at higher speeds mind you.

Hanno,
It doesn't have a military pattern but I have a picture of a 6Pdr with two different tyres and one looks like the one that you found. This might thus be a very acceptable alternative! Well found.

I just scrolled back to the top of this post and David's post nr4 shows Industrial All Purpose tyres with the same pattern but a different size.
Cheers,
