Today I had a quick look at the wheels I have in storage that came on my car when I bought it 34 years ago. I was in a rush but tried to see if there were any markings on them. I thought I'd see an ET code or something like that but I didn't see anything. It's possible some markings will appear after I wash them off but I didn't have time for that and didn't feel anything by checking with my fingers. Based on the pics below, is it possible to tell if they are 914 wheels (rather than wheels from some other VW)?

I have checked the markings on the wheels. They all have the same markings, including the spare. They are the upgrade 5.5" wheels. The date is 9/72 which is consistent with the chassis, which is from 8/72. The third marking is the VW logo. However, the 4th marking is different from the wheel that @nathanxnathan posted. Specifically, there is no offset. Instead there is kind of a T marking. In his pic that T looks to be beside the VW logo. On mine it's on a separate 'petal' of the wheel where the offset would be on his. Pics attached below. Based on this info, can I be confident these are the original wheels to the car?
