Rim clamp printed literature

Does anyone have any printed literature from the different rim clamp manufacturers?  I know there was original Kelsey parts, but there was also Pittsburg, someone on a different site mentioned Stone, I think I saw Firestone, who knows how many others.

I'm trying to identify the proper rim clamps for my Kelsey wheels (see attached)  

I have two rim clamps from 35Mike that seem like they might be right but I can't tell what company they were from.  I'm thinking I might just have to have clamps custom made but I want to make sure what I get milled are right! 

Below is what I found so far searching on the AACA for printed literature (sorry attached one page twice and couldn't figure out how to get it off)

Rim clamp picture is 1 of the 2 clamps I got from 35Mike.  I can't find that number on any charts so far.  Someone on the AACA thought it might be a Stone number.  These clamps seem like they fit?

Last picture is of the numbers I found on the Kelsey wheels I have.  Though the 612 doesn't make sense the same someone on the AACA told me a 614 wheel was used on a 26-27 Model X truck.

Thanks,

David

According to the literature I have Chevrolet used wheels and rims made by Kelsey Hayes and Jaxon in the 20s and 30s. All of my '28 to '31 wood and disc wheels are Jaxon.
