Love those 5 spoke rims! Never seen them before for airheads. Were they adapted to fit, or were they specifically manufactured for these bikes. Tube or tubeless?
Go with dual disc and try to make it as light as you can.... even if it turns out heavy. I find I have more fun now with the dual disc set up.......because I know I can stop.

Looks like Morris wheels and a Heinrich style tank? Nice!

Morris have more spokes, like a Lester. He said these were Kuma brand I believe.

Wheels made in W. Germany for R90 BMW to allow a rear disk . Very light magnesium alloy. Appear to be cast. I do not know much about them. I took out the bearing for the stock R90 axel. Fitted with larger bearing to accept 25 mm R100R axel
