Default Cragar SS

Has anyone else ever seen a 15 X 5 Cragar SS wheel. I've been messing with these wheels almost since they came out and this is the first I've seen. Web has a 1970 cast date and there is nothing stamped on the hoops. Any ideas?

Never say never....I suspect a few left the plant as 5 inch, perhaps a few employees made their own versions of the 5 inch that left the plant.
