DA 7spd HG never existed. DA 7sp is UG. In fact for a short period of time
there was 8spd UG. Then shimano came out with 8spd HG, which is still around.

Sure, 7-speed HG Dura-Ace existed. From about 1990 to 1993 it was the
state of the art. I still have a 7-speed Ultegra HG bike.

Dura-ace was already *8*-speed HG by 1990. In fact, it was 8-speed UG in 1989.
What I'm wondering is if that auction is some other non-Dura-ace 7-speed HG freehub and cassette but with a Dura-ace lock-ring. If so, it won't fit my old Dura-ace hub shell that currently has a 6-speed uniglide freehub on it.

So there were 4 years when Ultegra was 7 speed and Dura-Ace was 8
speed? I thought Dura-Ace went 8 speed the same time they introduced
the integrated shifters/brake levers. In 89-93, everything was
downtube shifters or bar cons.

Nope. STI was available to racers in prototype form in 1989. It became
widely available in 1990:

I *think* Ultegra went STI and 8-speed in 1991... but I'm not 100%
certain.
