I'm guessing these are manufacturing dates..but on the front wheel we have two letters n and D. On the rear wheel we have T K 4.

I've seen those random letters and numbers on my wheels too. I think they are the inspectors marks, so that the wheels can be traced. The numbers in the circles are the date the wheels were cast.

I guess that wheel was cast the 78th of October 1916?
