I have two sets of lug bolts and am wondering which, if any, are what would have originally come on my 73 with steelies. The black ones below have a divot in the top and have 25mm of threads.
  The silver ones have a rounded top and have 40mm of threads   |

My first impression on the first photo was that the bolts are bug bolts I think was true now. The head length and the thread length appears to be equal, and that would indicate a threaded length of .75", and thus too short for the rear wheels. They are okay for use on the front with steel wheels, but not on the back where the brake rotor adds the extra quarter inch.
