what did these center caps come from??

a friend of mine, Rick (Red95FD) gave these to me over the summer and neither of us were sure what they came off of or if they held any value. I was told that they may be from an RX-2 or RX-4 but i cannot confirm as i am not thoroughly educated or versed on those particular models. here are a couple pics:

Theres a dude in texas (rotarydude) and one in michigan (kansie) that can probably solve this riddle for you. Hopefully

when my dad got his rx-4, he had the steelies with those on them. i would say rx-4's had them, but i cant speak for the other oldies.

i just looked in the Rx2 book, and its got either a full hub cap, or a round one. the Rx4 book, has something that looks just like those, part number is 1011-37-191C, which matches what you have.

so i'm gonna say Rx4.

If they are the big center caps it's RX-4, small one, it's RX-2
