So these are part of the 600 group.
Thank you.
I also add a picture of a Dura-Ace hub.

Yes, I forgot about the locknuts as identifiers as well. The Dura Ace ones look cooler and are chrome.

Yeah if I were still using freewheels, I would be happy to have those hubs. Well made and durable.

Centering the hub on the axle they make good single speed hubs.

They did come as uniglide cassette hubs as well, and while you can't just swap freehub bodies, you can cannibalize a 7 speed HG freehub body to make them hyper glide cassette compatible.
