The screw-on, non-cassette HED wheels can interchange axle kits to run
f/r. Looked briefly for HED info (hedcycling.com), didn't see specifics
there. There is or was a HED track axle and spacer kit that gives you
solid axle, track nuts (captive washer) and male/female thread "track
adapter" that screws on to the hub and has threads for cogs "located"
to position the cog for appropriate track chainline. They also make a
dedicated track disc (rear) that apparently has a reverse-thread
lockring that the "track adapter" lacks.

There's an inset photo there that's pretty clear. Didn't see any photos
on the HED site. --TP
