MG MGB Technical - What steering wheel for this column?

My 67 BGT has a spare steering column. One in the car has a 17.4mm (0.69") spline. The spare has a 18.9mm (0.74") spline.

The steering wheel in the car appears to be from a 72 or so car, so I am assuming the column in the car is from a newer vehicle.

Can I use the 68/69 steering wheel (one that looks like the early wheel) on the smaller column?

Bruce most of my experience with 68-69s is from Cs but as far as I know the 69 B wheel will only fit late 68s,69s and[maybe] early 70s. If you have a good 69 wheel you should be able to trade it for a good 67 wheel as the 69s are on the rare side check with the C owners also.Ric

Anyone with a 68/69 able to take a measurement on the spline? Would like to know if this column is from that year or something else

The two steering columns I have look exactly the same with the exception fo the diameter of the spline.
