The engineering drawings indicate a 37mm space from hub body to locknut, and it's conceivable that a 7-speed freewheel wouldn't quite fit, but a 6 speed freewheel does. è=è
Mine came naked i found a 6 speed megarange yesterday for it yeahhhh. Could you show me a link to the ingenering drawings you found and spec? tx would be usefull

Altus hasn't been 6-speed in years, and other groups in even longer, but if you track down any of the older shifters, they'll probably work too.
The two Tourney derailleurs you showed are different listings probably created by two different people, for what's possibly the same part. If you check Shimano's exploded view for the RD-TY500, the only variations are in how the derailleur mounts to your frame. The derailleur either bolts directly onto a frame, or has its own permanently attached tab. The two Amazon listings are ambiguous about which version they're for, and some of the reviews report being sent the wrong one, so that's the only thing to watch out for.
