I don't know about the T3 5-lug (sorry...), but T1 5-lug used clips up 
through '65, with 66-67 5-lug hubcap retaining being more like the '68-up 
four-lug wheels.  The new (chromie) 5-lug wheels also use the late-style 
hubcap retaining system.  Also, from personal experience, the replacement 
hubcap clips are nowhere near the quality of the originals.  I seem to have 
to replace my replacement clips every time I take the hubcap off.  Grr...
