help identify wheels

Hi guys
I am hoping you might be able to help me identify these wheels.
They are marked with the broad arrow C and are stamped Kelsey Canada 1942.

They are 12.5 inches in diameter and 7 inches wide. They are a two piece wheel with a valve stem hole.

Any thoughts?

How about 6 pdr a/tk gun.

I agree with Peter that they are probably 6 pounder wheels, judging by the "flaps" attached to the rims.

regards,

Alex

Thanks Guys

Id have never guessed. I sure wish I had the rest of the gun to go along with them. Alex do you know what the flaps were used for?

Do you think the flaps are for an armoured cover attachment to cover over the wheel sides??? Cheers BIG MIKE

the flaps are for wrapping chains and ropes around so the gun can be manhandled into place by man power.
