Yes that looks like the hubs. On a 69 huh? That's good info. Probably more
of those around than the very early Spitfires. Now the 70's had another
style of hub cap, similar but w/o the two "Spitfire" embossing's in the
center, just plain, correct? I hope so for I sold a NOS set of those to Pat
Davis for his 70 Spitfire MK 3 which was restored as original and shown in
Showroom Stock Concours at the VTR NATC in Valley Forge. It is a sweet
little car, Laurel like to one I have. For some reason the judges did not
score
it very high but to me it was BOS quality.

Yes, they are sorta similar to the ones from the '69; see:

(http://www.triumph-brochures.be/popup.php?foto=folder376.jpg)
for the 1970 style. I suspect that those 1970 wheel covers might have been
sourced in England rather than in the US, as some of the big Triumph sedans
(saloons) used a very similar wheel cover; see:
