mines an ambrosio by logos type disc, theres certainly no panel i can lift like that, when a small amount of material broke off at the rims edge i could see foam underneath, the outer material is probably the depth shown in your photo though, about 1mm. Its deffo not good that you can lift a big section like that, its one hell of a crack. Your hub looks different to mine so maybe a different wheel altogether, mine uses 6 little bolts to connect the two sides of the hub and when its removed i can again see the inner construction of the wheel. It wouldnt surprise me if it was a Polski wheel by Expert as they seemed to copy a lot of the existing wheels at the time using glass fiber.
