Default C3 wheel centres

Hi I'm currently in the process of replicating a 1976 Holden Torana Hatchback as in the photo attached. I am just seeing if anyone has seen these wheels with this type of center cap and is so where to purchase.
I have purchased the wheels which have the standard round corvette centers
Any info would be appreciated

I recognise the wheels, but not the center caps. Must be a Torana forum somewhere.

Thanks for the reply 4-vettes.
I haven't bothered with the Torana forums as yet as this car is the only Torana that I have seen these wheels on and never seen the center caps. I was hoping that someone in the corvette community had seen the caps on these wheels or new about them. The car was holdens Chief designer Leo Pruneau's car so maybe it was a one-off thing that they had made.

At first I was thinking maybe like a 70-80s camaro rally cap, or a early astro Van. But those have emblems, so maybe a c6 corvette cap??

But...could they be just regular holden centers, held on with chome lug caps?

5x120 -pretty close to chevy pattern.

That sure looks like the ones in the OP's photo. A Holden cap on a Holden with corvette wheels.
