Good afternoon.
Was hoping to pick your intellectual group brains.
I have a main wheel that is in poor condition that I’m trying to ID I was told that it’s mosquito but doesn’t appear to be to me. I thought potentionally Anson? but again doesn’t seem to match.
Tyre size is 48×18.00-18
axle diameter – 100mm
Appreciate any help that anyone can give.
Have included some pics of numbers that can be just about made out

While not an exhaustive list, the following is from a 1950s Dunlop wheel/tyre application chart contained in a brochure. The only aircraft with that tyre size listed are Bristol Brigand, Freighter & Wayfarer.
As a note Anson is listed with tyre size of 9.50-12 or 9.75-12
