John
I cleaned out my local surplus yard finding my set.
They all have 52' stamped in them and are riveted.
This leads me to believe they are indeed rather rare.
I don't think it would be too hard to take the regular
wheels to a good welding shop and have the centers cut
and rewelded. As far as a pattern I couldn't offer
much help but I'd grab a Military Vehicles Magazine
and start calling around.
Good luck
Marc
