Are these Mopar wheels?

I need to get a spare wheel and tire to put in the trunk of my 73. I have both of these wheels available to me. They both rotate true with good lug holes. The tires are trash and both wheels need refinishing, I am only interested in the wheel. The one on the left is 15" x 6", the one on the right is 15" x 5 1/2".  My question is are they Mopar, or not?

Looks like they probably are Ford wheels.  Could possibly be Mopars but a good old timer tire guy that owns his own shop can tell you right away.  Either way the lug pattern is the same.

Lug pattern is the same but the center register holes are different size, can't remember which is bigger.
So Ferd and Mopar wheels are both usable on one make but not the other..........

Just tried to put a ford steely on a 65 Polara and it did not work, the center hole is too small.  Sledge is right, unless someone else has experienced otherwise.

Same problem for me years ago as well. I was told by many, that the wheels would interchange, but they didn't. The center hole is smaller on the Ford.

Brought the Charger home today from storage. Tried the wheels on the car. The one on the left does not fit. Center hole too small. The one on the right fits perfectly. Just my luck. The nasty one fits and the better looking one doesn't.
