With a bit of luck this will be better:
Edit: Sorry thats as big as I can get it. They are original O/E 360 alloys I think

The only OE ones that look like that would be the mk2 glt wheels. But they look a bit odd from here.

I believe they are.
Do they have a name other than mk2 GLT wheels?

I don't think Volvo ever gave the 300-alloys names. On early models they were imaginatively called "the GT alloy wheel"

Names like "moon alloys" (the standard MkIII GLT wheel) are just V3M-own inventions

Rather odd considering that they named 200/700/900 series wheels such as 'Virgo' etc

There may of course be market differences. But check out this list of colourful names:
