Hi, I have an older trailer (homemade domestic) with 15 inch wheels, 4 stud 4-1/2" pcd that I would like to find hubcaps for. The old drums have MOWOG in the casting, and the wheels have 3 buttons to attach the caps. Without a pic, can anyone guess the vehicle they came off. Look to be about the 50's era. TIA

humber would have had routes group in the 50's? mowog was more ford wasn't it, trying to remember if the 49 to 53 fords ran 4 stud or 5's, they certainly ran 15 inch but I thnk the 4 stud was more the lighter ones - prefect type than the mercs twins and singles, am sure they had 5 stud

Morris Oxford Series 2 or Series 3 1955-59 they were 15" 4 stud with "button thingys" on them to retain hubcaps. Possibly Austin A50-A55 also? 1954-59 Wolseley 4/44 or 15/50 would be similar or possibly the same even MG Magnette ZA-ZB models 1954-1958 or so could be similar or same?

3 nubs, 4 1/2" with mowog sounds awfully like low-light morris minor but they are 14", perhaps the hubcaps would still fit if they are different rims
Just looking at the pic looks to be Morris Oxford MO SV 1950-53 more likely with the earlier ''flat type'' buttons or perhaps the Austin A40/A70 Somerset/Devon or possibly Hereford. The hub cap retainer "buttons" were a more pointed shape thingy I think on the later series 2 & 3 wheels and their pressings around the centre area was a bit different with a broad cross impression stamped in them?

MO = Morris, WO = worsley, G = MG.

Not ZA Magnette.
Sorry to be pedantic, but it is Wolseley, not worsley!

It's not a MO Oxford, they were 5 stud, looks Austin-y.
