Default Mystery wheel

Gents, anyone know what this wheels is off, exactly the same size as a carrier wheel 20" but takes a bearing with outside i.d. 90mm not the usual 110mm as a 6408 bearing. Also wheel fork style is different. I think I originally got it from Canada, I have others like it to, can someone Shed any light on it?.

Rich, I think these must be very early carrier wheels which had the early style bronze bearings fitted?, I can't think what else they came off, they came with a carrier I bought from RR services. See attached picture, I assumed they came from Canada but they might of been sourced from the uk and sold with the carrier.

Default Vickers wheels

Several people have contactedme and advised these are vickers wheels, there is a vehicle on page 14 vol1 in Nigel's book. Found this pick on the net also which appear to show the same wheels.

Default Wheels.

Hi, don't think they are Nodwell, I have four of them, they all have good rubber.

Anyone need them for a vickers restoration, otherwise they might end up on a living history trailer or something similar.

Is this the same type of wheel? Or is it a regular carrier wheel?
