Petty wheel information needed

Don't the centers of the Nascar wheels look like Ford pickup wheels of the 60's? 5 on 5....

Here's a pic I found of a Ford 5 on 5.5" wheel. the center section has raised edges for a cap.

Ford used that type wheel center on various cars and trucks over the years. Some were 5 on 5. Some were 5 on 5.5. Some were 15", some 16".

I have seen an HM wheel with a "Firestone" stamping on the back side.

Note that the Ford and MoPar wheels have different weld patterns and the offsets are different. I have seen vintage photos of lesser teams interchange them on their cars. The front runners never did!
