Found this in a 1960 "Atlas Service Guide". Hopefully those of you who have the aggravating things can zoom it and find it useful.

I had never considered them as anti-theft devices. Always thought they were a styling gimmick to hide valve stems.

But since it would take Midnight Auto Supply way longer to swipe these than simply prying off a wheelcover would, I can see the anti-theft aspect. Guess Olds had to do something to quieten down owners who were getting their Fiesta caps stolen.
