What is the difference between these wheel types? Are the 3-spoke wheels from earlier models? How about the other 2?

5star: initially for new models, but all the time used on axles with propelling function (Magirus Mixer, Maharadjah..)
nuc: initially narrow wheels, later on used also in wide version on nearly all models
3star: initially wide wheels, later on also used in narrow version on nearly all models

Some models with narrow and wide wheels (like the Saviem truck oder Citroen CX) had always different wheels on front and rear axle. But later on, both designs were available in both sizes, so no longer different wheels...

I think the Citroen Dyane's wheels are the lesser produced in the 3 button-types of wheels pictured, they share the same design with the last hubcaps wheels stopped by Majorette to avoid risk with children gaming (swallowing).

No rarity here.
