Default Kelsey Hayes ID .......... Help Needed

I have some Kelsey Hayes wheels that im trying to figure out.
5x4 3/4 bolt pattern


The first 2 are 15x6 , numbers near valve stem are:

wheel #1 .................. "K486 4 (valve stem) 2 UN"
Wheel #2 ..................."K483 11 (valve stem) 3 UN"

wheel #3 .. is 14"x6" ... "K29 10 (valve stem) 10 RH"


is there a Kelsey plant #4?
1968? 1978?
cant find "UN" anywhere

thank you

well if i could post pics i would, it looks like i dont have permission.
if I could try to describe it, where the center hub cap gets tapped on, it has 4 humps, 2 big and 2 barely noticable.
pretty closed up wheel except for a silver of a slot at each quarter.

if someone would post pics for me id greatly appreciate it, I guess they only way would be to PM me your email address, and ill email to you?
thx.
