1997 F350 correct lug nuts?

I have the factory Alcoa wheels. The lug hole has a tapered hole for a acorn style lug nut. But the face of the wheel has marking from a flat (washer enclosed nut) being used. Does anyone know what is the correct lug nut for my 1997 F350 4x4 5.8?

As far as I know, the wheels use conical style lug nuts. shaped like \_/ on the end.

I found a OEM parts finder. It shows my year and model
Calling for a flat lug nut with a enclosed washer. The wheels have a tapered hole for a acorn style nut. Does anyone have a picture of the factory lug nut? Thanks

Acorn style lug nuts because these trucks were NOT hub centric.

Hub centric wheels use the washerd style lug nuts, like what a dually uses
