I think these are 14.00-20 as used on the AEC Matador.

All depends on the ply rating of the originals.

Keith could be on to something,
Matador used 10.00 x 20 Rims, with 14.00- 20 tyres, steel and very heavy I would say.
What a fabulous trailer, great little (well, you know what I mean) project.

in that case then 14.00 x 20 are fitted to Alvis Stalwarts with ally wheels.

Nice work Bob, looks like the recovery went to plan.

Not Matador wheels (not dished enough), and not Staghound either (wrong offset of centre) which also used 14.00-20.

Perhaps Scammell?
