@young_gun not sure it's spokes, the wheel's very thin and flat see pic pre-freewheel installation. I think it's something else heavy, like a girder.
@schnelly I nearly bought the fibre repair kit from the auto repair shop today, might try contact adhesive first, then resin if no joy. Did you ever see inside yours?
Really wondering if it has weights in it like that mavic one, glued into cavities, pushing on the disc it feels hollow at regular intervals.
Second pic, I pulled the cover as much as possible without too much damage, it's just glued onto the disc, which appears to be composite with circular cavities filled with foam.

sounds a bit like my Ambrosio disc, Ive already spent a small fortune having it professionally fixed by fiberglass specialists only to chip the edge again and fork out more money. If its like mine its a bit like how an old surfboard is made, a foam core laminated with glass matting. They just dont stand up to British roads running 19-20mm tubs. Another issue is that people fill dents/sand and repaint them damaging the gel coat.
