My free hub failed on a ride today. The wheels are Selcoff 45 from Planet X. I’d appreciate if someone could let me know if t need a new freehub or if it’s serviceable (once I get the cassette off) and which free hub Planet X uses for their wheels.

I would believe that only Planet X sell Selcoff, and that it's either a replacement freehub or a new wheel

Planet X list spare freehub bodies under Components > Wheels > Spares (£40).
There are 6 options listed, all for "Selcof 35/45/55 Carbon Wheelset", with two apparently identical options each for Shimano 11/12, SRAM XDR and Campag. The two Shimano options have different codes (WSSECDWFBSH1112 and WSSECWFBSH1112), the SRAM and Campag pairs also have DW and W codes. The codes don't show on the shopping basket lines.
The Shimano and SRAM options say "Older 4 pawl model, this cannot be used with the newer 6 pawl version of the Wheels"; the Campag options don't. It looks from your photo above like you've got the newer 6-pawl version.

One might guess that the 6 options may be 4 and 6 pawl freehubs for the 3 spline patterns, and they've mucked up the listing text by copy/paste.
Unfortunately, finding out and ordering will mean ringing up and hoping you get someone competent and helpful, or protracted email ping pong.

Hopefully the hub isn't damaged, but that's bloody filthy internally, no wonder it failed. The freehub is gone. These are dead easy to service if you keep on top of it.
