Default 1969 (?) rally wheel date decode help needed

I have what should be the remaining original spare from my early 69. Unfortunately I sold all four of my known originals so I have nothing to compare this wheel too. And I haven't found a definitive description of what all these stamps mean. A search here confused me even more, but pointed up that there are experts here so I'm asking their help.

March 20, 1970 wheel. Pretty sure it isn’t the original for your 69.

That's very odd. I'm the second owner and got the car in 1972. How I got this wheel is a mystery but 50 years holds plenty of them.

At least it's original to somebody and now I know how to sell it.

thanks Mike

IF you wondered
K -1- 0 is code for K= Kelsey Hayes - 1= Romulus plant - 0= 1970.
Ralley wheels from the year 1980 would have a 2 digit year ie 80 vs just the zero.
