Finally riding a big boys bike
The front rim is a dimpled rim, I call it the football dimple. It is different than the round dimple.
These where used with the large nipples and spokes.
I believe it made for a stronger mounting for the nipple besides stiffening of the rim.
This also allowed the head of the nipple to be recessed into the rim causing less tube, liner scrub.
These rims were also offered in the Whizzer parts list as an replacement rim.
I have seen many combinations of wheels on Bicycles that have had whizzer engines on them at one time.
If a rear pully was not kept tight on the spokes or a belt broke, the wheel got damaged.
So who knows what it was replaced with? Is there any sign of a rear pulley being clamped to the spokes?
