Yes, I believe ALL OE type 3 wheels were 4-1/2" x 15". Early wheels didn't have 
the safety hump which made them a 4-1/2j x 15. I think this change came in mid-
66, after the switch to 4 lug wheels, so that means that there are no OE 5 lug 
wheels out there which have the safety humps and are therefore appropriate with 
radial tires.
