Original K's drive train and wheels look like so:

The motor runs rough (fast, faster and still faster) and has much too low power output. In addition with the eccentric worm gear and you have a fine shelf queen. The K's wheel rims are bare steel, the sort of steel who tends to rust.
The original K's axles are D-shaped on their ends and fit into the also D-shaped bores on the wheel centers. The whole is fixed then by slotted screws going into tapered bores on the axles ends.
K's frames are usually bolted together by spacers.

What you have shown in the photo with the special nuts, looks like Romford axles which have indeed the square axle ends. May be the pre owner have replaced the original axles with Romford ones.

A suggestion: Why not fit a NWSL gearbox onto the first pair of drivers? This will create more space for a bigger motor and flywheel.

My 2 cent.
