What are these wheels rims?

I have these 3 following different 16" rims? Experts here, do you know if they're for civilian or military? And for what model of vehicles?

#1 is 4.5" wide without bead. And it has this stamp but no offset hole. Is this for military vehicle?

#2 is 4.5" wide with bead and these stamps. I think it's for military but it doesn't have typical offset hole.

#3 is 5" wide without bead. I can't find any stamp/marking but it has a offset hole next to a lug hole.

Thank you.

4.5 x 16 with 1/8" hole near a lug hole is military.

No 1/8" hole civvy wheel.

5.0 x 16 with 1/8" hole near lug hole is for a Willys Pickup.

It is a very post production civvy wheel Kaiser sold to the Army after they ended production of the M38/M38A1 specific wheels.
