grinding wheel Identifcation?

Those would more likely be for a small centerless or cylindrical grinder.

The G103 doesn't seem to mean anything of importance, probably just a production code of sorts. Norton made and continues to make a LOT of non-stocked standard wheels for all sorts of special applications.

In the "39C601-K8VK" the "39C" suggests it the 39C Crystalon, a silicon carbide abrasive good for carbide, tunsten and other dense materials. Is it a dark gray or green wheel?

The "601" part confuses me because that's usually a two-digit number or a zero in the third position if a 3-digit extra fine grit. It's grit size, and either it's a 60 grit or a super-fine 600. I tend to think it's a variation of 60 grit.

The "K "means it's a fairly hard bond, on the upper part of that scale for vitrified wheels.

The "8" means it's a free-cutting, relatively open wheel. More air spaces between the abrasive grains and bond gets an 8 to 12 (higher is more open), less air space and higher density gets a lower number.

The size is unusual. Being 6" in diameter but 3" wide is what has me thinking small centerless grinder. The 32mm bore lends me to think it's for a European made machine. You may not ever find the application, so just take some good photos and put them out there on eBay.
