A factory tire was likely a 10 by 38 tire with a tread where the bars were connected. If not, than something similar to that.
Truth is, they really don't make the 10 inch anymore, or if you can even find a place that does, they sure wouldn't be very common. Same with the tread. Most manufacturers have went to the V tread with bars not connected.
If it were me, I wouldn't place much concern on having period correct tires. Especially if you got cut off steel wheels. That would be about like having a period correct lid, for a non-period correct pot.
If I was going for period correct, I'd go with all period correct except that. That would be the one place I'd just use what I could come up with. If you can't afford new, then do what you can to have matching used. And that's probably only as important as you make it out to be. For me, matching size would be good enough.
For what it's worth, I had 2 mismatched tires on an F-20 that I redone. Same size, but different tread and from different manufacturers. I don't think anybody ever noticed that, except me. And I had it in a couple shows, and alot of parades. I eventually put on some factory steel, but that was years and years later.
