The only text: SUNTOUR, Winner Pro, Japan, CR, VIA. Can anyone tell me if this is an Ultra 6 model that can fit on a 120 spaced hub?

Thanks
I'm almost certain it's an Ultra-6, since there's 6 cogs and the outermost cog is flush with the end of the freewheel body. If it were a "regular 6", the outer cog would be above the end of the freewheel body. I think this is a "Winner Pro" freewheel, which preceded the "New Winner Pro". The NWP is recognizable by the cone-and-locknut bearing adjustment, which this freewheel lacks.
