MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Wheel Nuts - Standard steel wheels

I am fitting standard steel wheels to my 1968 midget in place of the Rostyles that were fitted when I got it.

I have in my stock of "useful one day" bits a full set of nuts of the correct thread but 60 degree cone angle, and these are clearly wrong for the wheels, which seem to be 90 degree coned. Are the wheel nuts straight 90 degree cones, or curved face?

I can very easily machine the old nuts to 90 degrees, but a rounded form would be rather harder.
