While it may be a Formula, I have seen Les Leston wheels like that. The Les Leston wheels I have seen had an overlapping "L/L" stamp on the vertical spoke near the rim.

I am absolutely shure this is an Formula steering wheel.
The top black ring is made to fit the Lucas hornpush.
If the boss have 48 splines and a splinehole of 18/19mm
it will fit the classic Mini.

Very sorry for you to tell you this is not an Les Leston.
An Les Leston steeringwheel has always a LL stamp
on bottom spoke.

Hi Olivier.

If you need an boss to fit the 5 hole Les Leston
steeringwheel on I can help you.
It's not an original LL boss but the fitting is perfect.
Ofcourse it's for the classic Mini models.
Just one thing, the 5 hole LL has no holes in the spokes
but slots, the one with holes is called Grand Prix and have
to be fit on the boss with 4 or 6 screws.
