hubcap application

In the row of three wire wheel hubcaps, does anyone know what year and model would have used this cap? It has the graphics of a 28-29 Durant. But it has the physical design of the later 1932-33 wire wheeled caps.

The 1928-29 wire wheeled cars had a small cap and exposed lug nuts

What Durant model would have used the center cap?

For 1930 Durant seemed to go with a rounded edge cap on the 6-14 and 6-17. These caps hid the lug nuts

Re: hubcap application

Checking google pictures of Durant's the rounded edge ones are 1930 and 31
Depending on hub size on the screw on cap with Durnat across it can be 28 / 29 but 1930 with bigger hub opening.

The center one with the black is for the 1929 666 deluxe. I'm not sure, but probably is also for the 670 deluxe.

This is from durantcars on the 6-70, still available on wayback site . Note two sized caps US versus Can smaller. The brochure on the 70 indicates rounded edged caps not dished.
