Aye-the 'MT-Lock' hub.

Larger diameter spoke flanges and centre than the XC50 hub and double hole axle, one for skewer t'other for bolts as an alternative, the idea indeed being to make the connection with suspension fork dropouts beefier.

The flanges on the end caps were bigger too but it was found that they were too big to fit some forks so there were 2 sizes in the end.

The ovalised axle was to prevent it turning in the dropouts too.

28 hole is a rarity.

MAG21 and others in that style would have been a problem for the large end caps. I know for my Hope Mono's with their larger diameter than 'retro... aka steel axle m730/m900' end caps I need to file the tabs off and some of the area around the top for them to fit and tighten up. Once they are done though it does make a difference.
