How can I tell the right set for my 83 TA?

For an 83 build you'll want alloy hubs front and rear like these

Not all new Skyways have the little hole for the reflector I think that was only done for OEM wheels i.e. Tuff IIs destined for manufacturers to put on their completes.

That's correct. I have a new set of black ones from 2008, that have the short axles and no reflector holes. They were made officially for sale, as opposed to the long axle ones with reflector holes that were intended to be used on budget supermarket type bikes.
