I'm wondering if any of you fellows know what bike/application a WM2-18 stamped "MC12" pertains to?

Seems like I recall it being for a Commando w/ disc front wheel, but then it would be a 19"...

The Commando disc front wheel rim was a Dunlop WM2-19, MC275.

MC288 on later 850 Mk3s.
 
There is a WM2-18 new rim for sale in a fecebook post, I advised the seller that there are several DIFFERENT WM2-18 rims, depending on the spoke pattern. I told him to look for the mark, and there it was MC12. Anyway, I couldn't tell him what the application was, but that he'll get more "bites" now that the sellers know it's an MC12, and less chance of an equally clueless buyer getting a rim he can't use.

Yes, MC287 (early) or MC289.

MKIII Rims Markings:

I am trying to decide on type and size of tires for my 75. I have the original rims, the manual says they are WM2. I looked for markings on the rims and found nothing on the rear rim, but curiously the front rim is marked "MC 275". Does anyone know if they are indeed WM2s and what the MC 275...

Also, some 850 Mk2/2A models had (rear?) rims made by Jones instead of Dunlop.
