Were the 12 inch standard steel rrims safety rims, as in did they have the bead retaining lip?

By checking my photos, 80s Rover ones are safety rims.

ADR 20 states that cars had to have safety rims fitted from 1st July 1970.

From: Road Traffic (Vehicle Standards) Regulations 1977 Tyres and rims
Part 8
