Yes and just to be sure if you remove one nut and look at the wheel you should be able to see where the nuts marked the paint
also paint may have transferred onto the nut should be a mark around 2.5mm from the nut face

Put it this way...
If the wheels are staying on and you haven't got any wheel wobble they are working
Fitting nuts that are wrong will bugger up the wheel balance and possibly damage the wheel. Driving at low speeds wouldn't be noticed, but get up to 65-70mph and it will be shaking worse than Elvis.
A easy test, to be certain, would be to take a wheel off and try sitting a wheel nut in one of the holes. if it fits snug then and doesn't wobble about easily then all is well, if its slipping around and not matching the shape of the hole, it is wrong. Nice simple test
