Unusual wheels for Citroën (update: made by D.F.)

Craig Little is a very active restorer and highly knowledgeable with twenties Citroëns. Still he will stumble over small and larger mysteries form time to time. Like this one:

"I recently aquired these wheels and think they mey be worth of investigation. 
They come attached to a pair of B2 Citroen type front hubs which  are fully equipped  with the readily recognised Citroen aluminium wheel cap and Citroen wheel nuts. 
Both wheel hubs retain the remains of a substantial 40 mm diameter solid axle.
And both of these axle stubs have been cut with an acetelene torch It appears the whole was once part of a trailer axle.  The central drum part of the wheels makes them a reasonably heavy assembly. 
After trolling though countless photos of rear wheel drive Citroens on Google and in Citroen literature, the last photo supplied is the only one of a Citroen (5CV?) I can find equipped with identical wheels."
