Can't help with the hub, but I think I've just identified an old headlamp I have in the work-shop....it's from a pre-war Panther. ;)

Not much chance of that old girl going rusty..... :)

The WW2 Royal Enfield WD/C has a front brake drum and hub very similar to that, if not identical. 350cc sidebanger, 1941 and 1942. Front speedo drive and all.  Is that a khaki green look to it. ?  Could have been on other small models of about then too, they made rather a lot of them, and they are not well known.

The rim lacing pattern looks rather odd though.
The original rim had an equally odd 3 spokes in a row on the rim and then one offset, so maybe its been relaced up with the wrong rim, and someone has adapted it ? !!
