DMR Comp Wheel Axle

I'm looking for advice on changing out the axle on this front wheel to a hollow one, so I can run a quick release.
Am fairly sure that it is a DMR Comp wheel, DeeVee (DV) rim.
Plan was to swap in a Shimano axle but either the diameter and/or thread pitch is slightly different, without having accurate tools I'd wager that the DMR axle is slightly larger diameter.

I have emailed DMR/Upgrade but haven't had a reply yet.

Any thoughts from the forum? Ta.

Amazon appear to have a listing for this hub, haven't checked these details yet against my own hub but the figures look about correct.

Spare front nutted axle.
9.5mm (3/8th) x 1 OD 140mm width nutted axle.
2x 9.5mm (3/8th) x 1 ID 11mm width cones for use with 13mm cone spanner and 3/16th bearings.
2x 9.5mm (3/8th) x 1 ID 5.5mm width lock nuts for use with a 17mm spanner.
2x 25mm OD 15mm ID 3mm width internal rubber hub seals.
2x 26mm OD 15mm ID 6mm width lock nuts rubber seals.
2x Safety washers.
2x 9.5mm (3/8th) x1 ID ? 10.5mm width nuts for use with a 15mm spanner.
 
DMR couldn't help much, as they didn't hold any information about this wheel. They did send me this picture showing the rear hub though, maybe useful for someone else in the future:

What did I do? I've swapped the axle, cones and all associated washers etc from an Shimano Exage Hb-rm50 hub. All seems to fit perfectly! The DMR bits were shot, bent axle and destroyed cones have gone in the bin.
