Need to convert an old set of OEM wheels form 142x12 to 135x12 - no branding, and no response back form OEM as to who makes them, but pretty sure theu're Novatec.

Found a coulple of places selling what looks to be the right axle - [url= https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Novatec-d771sb-d772sb-d881sb-d882sb-thru-axle-adapters-thru-conversion-axles-front-4-in-1-rear/1429196_32278240283.html ]HERE[/url] and [url= http://www.flowbikestore.com/novatec-rear-axle-hub-adapter-to-12x135 ]HERE[/url] but delivery times are pretty far out, 24 days best case

So loking at this from Superstar - http://www.superstarcomponents.com/en/switch-rear-adaptor.htm

Looks almost identical, bar the colour - anyone know if Superstar Switch (bottom pic) and Movatec 771/772 (top) are one and the same?

the novatec IDs of the switch hubs has been posted on here before, probably in a replacement bearings type thread, so you should be able to find it with a bit of googling. It's been years since I used them so can't remember myself.

But this suggests they use same/similar axles

Similar, yet different:

We will need to know whether you have a D772 or D882 hub model as the parts are slightly different.

Aha - the old reading trick. I shoulda thought of that
