Well the assy no. looks like the AH number on this old ebay listed Mosquito wheel? Perhaps the photos will help identify it better?
Also Spitfire Spares have a listing showing more shots? Scroll down for the Mosquito one:

Well that's my 'rigger' input anyway

I concur (always wanted to say that !)
AH is on Mosquito AP, Mastrand tyre size matches and Kelsey of Canada is a known supplier of Mosquito tail & mainwheel castings.

Mossie tailwheel tyre (anti-shimmy type) very similar to Vampire nosewheel, though I also "concur" with it being Mossie.

Many thanks for your replies and concurrences. The owner is now a happy man.
Then he showed me his Lanc tail wheel assembly complete with almost pristine tyre. And then his B 17 (as in Bristol) turret firing control, etc, etc.

Ther was B.17 turret control on eBay not so long ago, and we have a turret cupola to fit it. Thing is, to put it back on WR963 we'd lose the galley and I think that would cause a small riot..

Afternoon all,
A friend has just shown me a wheel and tyre assembly. It has started an interesting conversation as to possible fitment. My thoughts, for what it's worth, is perhaps Canadian Mossie, but we don't know. However, I am sure someone on here will be able to tell us.
The wheel is marked as follows:
ASSY 10191
SERIAL KD-4280-M
KELSEY CANADA
The tyre is a twin-contact type, but doesn't seem to have a manufacturers name. There are various marks as follows:
8.00-5
V in a circle
W.I.-R30
RAYON
ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTING
Looking forward to the answer.
