What do these fit?
They are marked DB100.

Whatever these fit, has 5 "spokes" or "clamps" on the wheels.

David Brown was my first thought, as they are the right color, but all the David Brown wheel weights I can find on google are circular...

Really they'll fit whatever has the correct spacing for the four hole pattern in the middle, and with all the slots in the spokes, it looks like you could stack quite a pile on...

But the holes don't line up.
 
Why worry about what they fit? A drill press and bit will make them fit what ever you want. We drilled a set of old F&H weights to fit on our 574 for the inside one then put an IH weight over top of it. It also has some big Case weights on the inside for a total of about 1000 or so on each side . not sure just what each wheel weighs with the weights and fluid in them.

I really need to do some work... because I have zero dogs in this fight... but this was interesting enough to fuel some ADHD procrastination... or even amateur-crastination...

From a stock picture of a David Brown 995... looks like they were made for that particular 5 point rear tire hub...

It looks like it would fit the "power shift" style wheel centers perfectly. A 995 (or 1290) size would have 5 spokes to the rim, but only 4 holes for bolting on wheel weights. And there are notches out of the weights so you can adjust the wheel spacing while it has weights on. The last poster got a good picture of that style of wheel. But you said the holes don't line up for that, so.... any more ideas out there?

Speaking from experience the wheel weight bolt hole spacing on IH tractors with stamped steel wheel centers was different for each tire diameter. 24" was different from 26" was different from 28" was different from 30" was different from 34". Then the cast hub centers had a different spacing too. So it is is not out of the realm of possibility that David Brown had multiple different wheel weight spacings.
 
It didn't have "power adjust"/"spin out" wheels like the one pictured above right?
I know very little about David Brown... but what I will say is... when I poked around to find a five spoke rear wheel hub... the David Brown 995 was about the only model that I could find with the exact configuration shown. Maybe the 885 as well.

Pictures of other models showed different hubs. I wouldn't be surprised at all if a 1200 had different wheel hubs.

For what it's worth, our 1290, 3x 1390s, and a 1394 all have 5 spoke "power adjust" wheel centers/rims. There's also a 990, 1290, and 1390 in the family with the 6 spoke pressed steel wheel centers (non "power adjust"). So they were available with both styles over most or all of their production years under Case. I've never seen a weight that looked anything like those, and I couldn't find anything in the DB parts catalogs, but I still think they look perfect for a David Brown.
