It has horizontal, not rear-facing track ends. I don't know if those tugs will work, but maybe. It says in bold that they're for rear-facing drop outs...
The name is David, or at least that is what I tell people on the internet. You can see my signature line if you scroll down (included a marvelous quote from Mr. Willard Romney). But surely you know the name of the guy that's been on here and the ibob list with you for the past 10 years and has bought/sold/traded/given away things from/to/with you on several occasions over that decade :-) The axle is definitely about 1-2mm behind the drop out. That's the first thing I check, hoping that was the cause and source for a simple fix. No such luck.
