Yup, Dunlop Special Lightweight 40-hole 27" rim. Unfortunately rare and quite expensive when they do show up. Interestingly, I recently bought a Lenton Grand Prix from a local BF-er, and it has the correct rear rim (and a set of very rusty spokes). I might use that one if I really want to achieve period correctness, which I usually don't, and in that case I have an alloy 27" 40-hole Weinmann rim with high polish that'll work fine.
