Original rear tire size would have been 10X38. That size was replaced by the 11.2X38, and then later became a 12.4X38. The original rims would have been 10 inches wide.

The rear wheels that you have are called "cutdowns", and are precisely just that, someone cut the steel wheels off the spokes, and then welded the rubber tire rims to the spokes. I have an H uquipped as such, and I have seen several others. It was a cheap way to put rubber tires on a steel wheeled tractor.
