Nope.  Not that many people here care, but the first resource I found is
the Moss Motors on-line catalog, located here:

http://www.mossmotors.com/cataloglayout/pdfs/mgb/mgbd.pdf

Part number 264-850 is Hub, R/H, wire wheel; part number 264-860 is hub,
L/H, wire wheel.  They also list the later hubs (-870 and -880), which
used the coarse thread used on later (post-65, if I infer correctly from
the "all GTs" comment) MGBs.  The hubs are differentiated because the
threads on the ends are different for R/H and L/H sides of the car.

And as TA Terry reminds me, they had arrows on them labeled UNDO,
pointing in the direction you whang on them to remove.
