1958 mercury half ton hubcaps

I have a 1958 merc and I don't know what hub caps belong on the truck. Is this picture the correct hubcap for my truck?

If I found that on the ground in a wrecking yard, I'd guess it came from about a 58 merc 1/2 ton. I doubt any merc car came with painted hubcaps (s'posed to be fancier than a ford) and it looks like the era. I'm no expert on the matter, but I DO have a merc box and tailgate on my ford. Oh by the way, welcome to the fridge truck clubhouse. I sold my old bmw r/75 with a toaster tank a couple of years ago. Now I'm an oldbsarider. Not sure why..............

I need help identifying the correct hubcaps for my truck so I can start the hunt. Hard to hunt when you don't know what to look for. I would think the merc caps would be the same as the ford caps with the different logo.

As you probably have guessed, this topic has been discussed before.

Check out this link to see what the Ford trucks were wearing on their wheels.
