Default Names of wheels

Can someone please help me by naming these wheels (all off the 300 series) and what year/mark they were on.

I believe these are called Hercules... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volvo-340-...item3f1b394197

These are Leos

But what are these two called:

They don't have names as such, just part numbers and catalogue picture numbers.

They do have names MP, but only in one accessories brochure and I can't remember which one.

EDIT: Removed that last bit as I am getting myself confused, will look for brochure

The images have gone though, might be worth PM'ing Aukki?

All the names I can think of either relate to the model they were fitted standard on, or nicknames given to them.

I'd be interested to see this brochure as it sounds like a lot of retrospective naming.

Alloys where mainly fitted to the 360 GLT (14"), 360 GLEi (13") and special editions (13").

The later flat faced type was from 86 on I think. Before that there was the 4 spoke and 5 spoke Leos' you showed.
