Hako, GMH would not make the wheels personally, I know in respect of one company I worked for, as I worked in the toolroom making the dies for the rim centres for several years of GKN Sankey Benson, at Flemington west NSW, a wheel maker of some quality, steel wheels of all sizes and cast alloy wheels.
Mo matter the car to be fitted on they made literally dozens of wheel types, steel wheels to fit anything from a mini to a mack and a dozen different designs of alloy wheels all cast and machined on site.
I have never seen any other casting logo but for the small GKN usually placed on the inside of the rim section in respect of alloy wheels, any brand was put on the plastic wheel centre.
Sure there are other companies that make wheels, likely dozens of em, although many will be overseas based, as to having some fool knock back a wheel due to no ASA standards sticker is somewhat a puzzle, I never saw any ASA sticker at the manufacturers end of things.
The wheels would be rejected if too wide or a design not safe or approved here, so it's possible they were made elsewhere, some makes of split wheels will be rejected due to safety, what design were they ?
