2) WITHOUT SPROCKET AND WITH BRAKE PLATE R6882 215X 18" NOR DISK NORWAY 3-83.

Hard to tell without seeing the pics, but a Nordisk rim is probably an 83 or 84 model.

Nordisk with 3-83 is manufacture date March 1983.  So likely to be a late 83 model bike or later. Good chance it is cracked at the weld too being a Nordisk If you de-spoke it for any reason don't leave it de-spoked for very long (day or two max) or it will crack quickly and fracture at the weld if you leave it long enough. Happened to me and lots of other people.

Generally if the rim is stamped 3/83 it's off that year bike.If it is a late stamping like 11/83 it can be for the next model. Are you sure they are Maico wheels and not Husky rims. Husky used Nordisk rims but to my knowledge Maico's ran Akront rims. Well least my 84model does.
  Need a picture.

I agree the Nordisk is likely to be of a 83 Husky. They went back to 18 inch rear in 83 and they are a light coloured gold annodised finish. Not sure if Maicos did that then.
