But there's a way to be dead-sure:
Maillard 700 hubs that are English threaded should have a groove machined in the unthreaded portion inboard of the freewheel threads, like so:
Finally, if you are having a hard time with a freewheel remover on that Suntour body, I have had success with a very large pipe wrench. You can usually get it to grip in the divots where the pawls used to be. Then, brace the wheel on the floor, against a wall, and heave!
Ah, yes- the groove.... alas, none that I can see. It does seem likely that the FW might have been mashed on there and that is why there's only a portion of it still on the hub.... Well, when I get the tool I'll see if I can get it off anyway.
