Default Wheel identification

I have a chance at purchasing a set of wire wheels from a 69 XKE roadster. They have the centre nut instead of the spinners. How do I tell if these are originals or repros? The owner is not 100% sure. Are there stampings I should look for? Spoke count? Need answer ASAP. I have not seen the wheels yet in the flesh only a picture that was in a text. Thanks.

I found out these are Dayton 15x6 with 72 spokes. Any idea what the value is for a set of five with brand new tires?

I'm running 15 X 6 Daytons with SS spokes and tires (205X70s), mounted & balanced with shipping was approx. $2200. This was several years ago. Hendrix Wire Wheel in NC did the work.
