Visually, those wheels look to be the same diameter front and back. It seems all mowers sold in Australia have either 6, 7 or 8 inch wheels.
Yours look to be 8" rear and 6" front as original, and they have good unworn looking tread.
I quite like them myself. Sure, not original but part of it's history now. Kind of like a car with aftermarket mags fitted lol!!!

I'm not sure I did mate, where was that one?
Here's the link. It has a black VC Sports style cover with it's nose cut off.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
