So I don't know what it is, but it's definitively not a cassette of any type. It's a freewheel but a type I've not encountered before.

I can't find anything in those links that explains it. A couple of them gave security warnings so I didn't go there.
However, the OP stated it was an early 2000s bike, so unless it was fitted with an older wheel somewhere along the way, I don't think we are looking at Suntour here.

Chrome won't let me open the links to retrobike due to security issues

Yeah, you and me both. Can you post more photos showing the axle parts and how they are oriented in relation to the wheel?

I don't have a FH body to look at handy, but I wonder if an older style Shimano FH body would fit the splines.
I can't tell if there's threads for the fixing bolt or not??

I'm still betting on a SunTour cassette hub. The spline pattern on the hub matches the one in this thread: Remove Suntour freehub body?
It looks like the OP's hub is missing the center bolt and the right-side ball cup. Without knowing the condition of the hub before disassembly it's hard to know if it was intact to begin with.

Although it does seem strange that an early 2000s Gary Fisher would have a 7 speed.
