Rover alloy identification???

I dont know if yu guys would be able to help me with this mission i am on or not, but here goes anyway.
I bought a set of wheels about a year ago for my mx-5, but they were missing the centre caps, the wheels have no make or anythng on them, all i know is that they were originally fitted to a rover, i do not know what rover, but thats what the seller of the wheels said, i broke the mx5 though, so these are now on my astra, until i fix the 5.
To me, the wheels themselves look very very VERY similar to a tsw stealth, however, on viewing a side on picture of a stealth centre cap its apparent that they are totally different and would never fit as the stealth cap is very up and down around the edge if you know what i mean, where it rises and dips to fit with the shape of the spokes, but my wheels spokes are nowhere near as pronounced once they get that close to the centre, any cap i would need would be practically flat around the edges to fit into the shape.
Then i thought, escort or mondeo si, the wheels themselves are totally different in looks, the ford items have flared ends to the spokes, but the centre cap looks a lot more loke the shape i would need.
Then i looked and thought again, both the stealth and mondeo/escort centres are of the push on type, whereas the wheels i have look like they are supposed to have a bolt securing the caps, which make me think, are these OE rover wheels, but the centre spigot bore size of 73mm makes me not so sure.
My wheels.....
