I think the attached photos should answer all your questions. This is from
the top of the most recent run of Overland brass cabooses. I laid an HO
scale rule for your size references. The ground plate appears to be plain
old roofwalk material. Note that the spoke pattern on the "wagon wheel" is
not symmetrical around the six sections.

I know these are correct, since Schuyler Larrabee measure a prototype for
Overland! :)
