Freewheel hubs

Went out in Fungus today and both the freewheel hubs have
decided to spew oil all over the rims so looks like a repair is
in the offing. The only problems are:
A) I am not sure what FWH's are fitted to Fungus they look like
AVM's (but they also look like super winch ones as they are
black not red)
B) rang DLS today about AVM'S repair packs and they only stock
24 spline kits not 10 spline kits
Does any one know if the gaskets are the same and if AVM'S and
super winch FWH'S are the same(as they look very similar in
pictures I have seen)

AVMs usually have AVM cast into them, superwinches have
stickers, at least the new ones do.

Early AVMs have a long body and thinish end cap with AVM cast in
the middle, its all metal, kind of simular in shape to a Warn or
a Selectro.
Late AVMs have a shorter body with a much deeper head on end so
the overall length is about the same, the turny bit in the end
is made of a flimsy plastic which is pritty shit and prone to
leaking, in the centre is(was) a little stick on badge which
says eather AVM or Superwinch - they are all made by AVM (in
Brazil I think). I know you can get the little service kit with
hex bolts, gasgets and the circlip for them from superwinch (and
probubly an AVM dealer, if they are still importing them) but if
its leaking round the selecter knob they might not be fixable, I
swapped mine for some MAPs for that resion.
