I know it's your model, and who am I to argue, but are you sure?  :-)  the
round-ish white "ring" on the (in the UK) driver's door looks like a hub, and,
magnified, a roundish outline is visible.  or so it looks.  see included.

As this is the ancient Soviet Zis5 truck (brought graciously by Taschen 
btw) there is a round sign with the number '503' painted on the door. 
The spare tyre is underneath the (load)platform.

found a (comprehensive! :-)) Wikipedia article, interesting, I'd thought it
