albrt -

perchance am missing something here but doona see how hubs could be a pair

front be clearly a Normandy Sport of the "G2" type - i.e., oval flange holes

in this closeup image of the serial posted earlier we can see that the rear hub's flange

be stepped/relieved such that the area of the spoke holes is thicker in wall than that of flange wall immediately below


the presence of this feature rules out the possibility of a Normandy Sport model rear hub

me guess, and its only a wylde guess, would be that the rear hub is of asian origin, this would fit in with its Shimano branded QR skewer

if front & rear rims & spokes are a match then wheels were likely constructed at the same time
