Wow--I could probably get out of low range on this one post alone!
The backspacing on my NATO steel wheels is ABOUT 5.5" from the inboard edge of the rim to the surface that mates against the brake drum. It is 3.0" from the outboard edge of the rim to the mating surface of the brake drum. Bear in mind that these are midnight measurements with the wheel still mounted on the Rover.
Here's a rather un-photogenic midnight picture of the wheels on a Series Rover:
