Im pretty sure WW are soft lead. I remember after we did several hundred pounds of WW into ingots, I could mark it with my thumbnail. Thats the redneck test. Your concern is how clean/how many times it was fluxed. WWs are dirty. We fluxed each batch several times.

All that stuff is out. He said ingots. Those steel wheel clamps are easy, they float on molten lead. Theres just so much dirt to flux out of the molten lead.
