A very similar design was used on the Sachs Aris. Wonderfull FW and very easy to change cogs.

Whatever turns your crank, I guess. I've never been fond of Regina freewheels. Too complicated to service and inventory with all the different cog positions and threadings and such, and the nasty shallow remover slots. Ugh.

I think Zeus had the best design for freewheels -- the body accepts either the two-prong tool or the superior splined tool. And the Zeus sprocket design was truly sensible -- a single spline pattern for all cogs, with a single threaded cog to hold them all in place. Rock on.
