You cannot safely put a WWII 1/2 ton WC rim in the inner position on a WWII 3/4 ton, M37 and probably PW due to the shape of the 1/2 ton rim. The 1/2 ton rim has a more gentle curve to the inner section as it transistions from the lug nut plane to the rim plane. This corner fouls the brake drum, preventing full seating. The result, sooner or later, WILL be cut through or simply broken wheel studs and a big potential accident.
