Sorry but I'm so confused now.
So my rims are Kelsey and look just like the drawing via the drawings on this site under resources. If I look at my felloes they are flat on one side which appears to be Ford under the ford 2845B drawing or 2845C drawing.
So do I have Kelsey rims on Ford fellows?
So what type of wheels and felloes do I have now?

don't get discouraged!
you are doing your due diligence in trying to learn about your car and one of the more confounding things on them is the subject of fellos vs rims. I just looked up what you referenced, as I have in the past, and think that you have referred to the 1919-1925 rims/wheels which were 30x3 1/2 wheels. Those are not your wheels...you have later demountable with split rims and Martyn has not illustrated those yet from what I can tell.
Looking at your fellos it is clear that someone very dedicated, went to a lot of trouble to damage them so badly and so thoroughly. If they were in my shop I'd be really inclined to make a set of roller dies and bring those edges back to where they belonged. Minor or localized flatness/damage can be dealt with manually with care but an entire diameter of damage would be very tedious work and not be entirely accurate.
You're not the first guy to find this sort of negligent damage but it is always sad to see.

Unfortunate damage, especially since rust damage is almost non-existent.

Re: So what type of wheels and felloes do I have now?
That rim is undoubtedly a Canadian rim. The holes in the side at the split and the type of clip at the split are indicators. Your clip is incomplete and damaged, and is missing a pin to hold it together.
The inner felloe edge looks to be flattened, perhaps by running it at some time without a rim fitted. However, the register mark made by the rim shows that it was wedged on the inner land as it should be, so it may have worked well. As advised, it would be better to find a sound replacement.
