Anybody ever seen one of these hubcaps?

The one on the right, not the 240z.

Nope, never seen.. they are 15" ?   at first i thought someone just put a sticker on z  hubcaps but no they don't fit the 14"rims..

Try Puegeot.

Let the finger pointing and rampant speculation begin!

Who was first? Who copied who? Too similar not to have been "influenced" by the other, right?

You're welcome, a google image search for " Datsun Griffin" gets quite a few more emblem examples

I think these hubcaps are aftermarket from National Wheel Covers manufactured by NAMSCO in Bellwood, Illinois although NAMSCO I thought only made reproduction hubcap for domestic cars. Thanks for the rabbit hole.
