Default Tyre sizes

I have a set of contor alloys on my 75, it currently has 205/60/15 tyres fitted. Are these the original size for the car. it's a cowley w reg cdt.

I've seen 195/65/15 tyres fitted to these wheels but apparently pre ppd cars had the bigger tyres for a better ride and handling
Annoying thing is it's cheaper for a good set of the smaller size than it Is for just 2 of the larger but I want the car as original as possible

Any information much appreciated

Regards

ps I've attached a photo of the wheels I have fitted

205/60/15 are the right size for Contours on a Cowley
