Standard 1200s had small "dog-dish" style caps. Other trims used full 12" wheel coverings. Remember that all B110s, and even PB110 used 12" Wheels -- so any 13" wheel covers you find are from some other car.

SSS
POST What do the SSS center caps look like?
The Datsun 1200 SSS came with "jelly bean" aka "slotted mag" style aluminum wheels
Don't Confuse These
Any 13" hubcaps are not from Datsun 1200, which even in GX form came with 12" wheels.
