I think that all with that style hub are Suntour. I think the only place it's written is on the anchor arm.

No sorry. Someone might have one off an old hub.  You could get complete replacement hubs to convert your freewheel Skyway. I bet they are rare as well though.

Sorry I can't help.

Sorry to give you duff info. Should have asked for a look at the other side. I know that Tuff 1's had this type of freewheel, just the steel Skyway hub that made me think it's a coaster one.
