Picked up this set of Bendix rims with 2 sets of tires this weekend. the rear hub has a red band is this a 2 speed kick back or just a single speed coaster?

I think the single stripe indicates a single speed. I could be wrong. Also, looks like those might be 12G spokes. Are they thicker than normal?
My Bendix Red Band "Automatic" Hub has 3 stripes. Also, it's physically larger, close to a Sturmey Archer AW 3 Speed hub in diameter. Also, the 18 tooth sprocket is not separable from a major internal component. Also, the coaster brake arm says "Bendix Automatic"

The Bendix RB and RB-2 with a painted single red band, were very popular single speed coaster brake hubs.

Have folks here on the forum heard that the Bendix 2 speed "kickbacks" are back in production, as a reproduction?
