This is now working!
the issue was that I had not powered the Seatalk NG bus, I had powered the Axion MFD directly, but not powered the Seatalk NG connector. The connections to the RS485-CAN-Hat is just the blue and white wire - no power.
So we can confirm that the Waveshare RS485-CAN-HAT (MCP2515) works and cost <$17
