Hi Ryan,
Those wheels and not just CMP, they were made to a British War Office spec. (as were CMP's vehicles) and known as WD Divided Rim. They were fitted to a great number of British vehicles and the 16 and 20 inch rims even carried over to post war vehicles. The idea that wheels could be interchangeable was good. My own Bedford QL has a couple of Kelsey rims on it, so could have started their life on a CMP. British makes were usually Joseph Sankey or Dunlop.
regards, Richard
