Thanks for the reply, OldPhart.

We obviously have different wheels. Mine are 16", black coated centers, machined (and coated) lips, say 'Autokraft' on the front and 'Compomotive' on the back. They are not 100% accurate in their spoke style when comparing to Halibrands. The way they approach the hub is different.

The original Autokraft spinners, which ironically enough are Halibrand, fit the wheel and hub perfect. The Trigo spinner, which has the same dimensions as my Kirkham machined spinners, are the same, let's say original Cobra style. If you saw the original Halibrand spinner you might say they had additional machining. Where the conical area meets the back of the 3 ears has a sharp(ish) lip.

Hopefully I'll get some info from Hawk Cars, England.
