The description of the 5 spoke wheel matches others I've seen, except I've also seen them with only "703-". The question really revolves around who D&B (note D&B, not B&D) were and where they were. In 1941, Aust Carrier production had just commenced by SAR Islington, so the cast date fits. I challenge the statement about them being fitted to a particular position on the carrier as the wheel can be fitted in all locations, with a change of bearings for certain locations. The wheel below is fitted to the forward roadwheel position.
