Hi Les.
I'm sure your first image is in fact the one in the Victory Museum in Indiana. It has the 900x16 tyres fitted as has mine.
The original tyres are slightly smaller with a finer tread pattern as in your second image. And strangely they are 925x16.

Our friends on HMVF have posted a link to some great home movies from 1970 of early MV collecting in the UK - scroll down to the bottom here:

The third movie at about 16:48 is particularly relevant for this string (it's all entertaining though).
