There is no "right" answer.
First off, nobody that purchased a new AD truck ordered whitewall tires. These trucks were used for actual work. I would love to see a period photograph of a new AD truck in a dealership equipped with white wall tires. It ain't gonna happen.
The whitewalls in your photo look like 2 3/4" WW.
White walls were already being narrowed by carmakers in the mid 1950s. My 1956 Cadillac came equipped with blackwalls or 2 3/4" whitewalls if ordered. You could still get the wide whites up to about 4 1/2" but they were falling out of vogue.
White walls on trucks were just a waste of money for farmers and contractors and other people who used a truck as a truck.
