I just purchased a set wheels that look like some 69-70 magnums they came off a 68 bel air. Is there anyway that these wheels could be Ford wheels and how can I tell the diffrence between GM and Ford magnums?

They do look exactly the same
the bolt patern is different and if they were on a Chevy they won't fit on a ford

Ford wheels have the oval stamped on them too

So do you think my wheels are the 396 wheels?

Most likely the difference will be in the center caps.

If they are chevelle wheels look real close around the valve stem area front side for "YA" (69) or "AO" (70) codes.
