From memory (very long term) and a quick look at Google images
pressed steel pulley wheels came in two or more parts - two dished
circular blanks which were riveted or welded together. The above
wheel looks to be one piece, to me at least with no obvious joins
and no rivets or similar holding the two halves together.

Yes - at one time riveting was popular. later cars with more than one belt
often had the pulleys bolted to a boss.

The one on my Anglia that fell apart was tack welded.
