Is there a list showing which casting numbers for wheels went on which bikes?

While rebuilding my sidecar rig two winters ago I switched to cast rims purchased off eBay. The rear was wider than the OEM GSA rim, so was a better fit for the car tire I used as a pusher. Now I'm considering additional modifications and would like another rim just like the one I have...but I can't remember what bike the seller said it was from (and am not sure if he had it right in the first place). The casting number on one of the spokes is 7 703 881

Any idea where I might be able to look that up?

Thinking the R1200S would be the widest available rim with correct rotational arrow direction. The similar wider rims on wedge K bikes were flipped with drive on the "wrong" :laugh side

The optional S bike widest was 6.00x17, the stock 5.5x17

Sometimes the casting numbers do not cross with part numbers seems like.

I added 36 31 before your numbers like the rims listed under R models but found nothing by part search on Max's site

Thanks! Looks like the leading link I’m thinking of going with can’t handle a rim wider than 5”. Guess I’ll be sticking with the existing RT front cast rim coupled with the widest rear tire it can handle.
