Hmmm... on a New Winner body, the regular-6 freewheel's small cog will be above the freewheel body, like an Ultra-7. That is, the last cog threads onto the second cog, which threads onto the freewheel body. On an Ultra-6, the last cog threads directly on to the freewheel body. I hope this makes it a little clearer:
