OEM and OEM 2 both come in QR and threaded axle formats.
Position of cable box is however you like dependent on frame clearance and cable routing. Quite important to use a torque wrench on those (5 /6?) screws securing the axle plate to hub if you move it. Always check them on ‘new’ hubs too.
Side note /tmi-
I’d always use box fresh axle plate screws if I ever took them off, but those bikes I was working on got absolutely hammered by people and couldn’t always check them frequently. If you move it more than once though consider getting some new ones, the thread lock they come with deteriorates after a couple of loosening / tightening cycles. And Rohloff advised against applying thread lock yourself in case excess gets into inner workings.
