I believe that WOSP, like several other starter suppliers, start with DENSO
starter cores and remanufacture them, putting them in outer cases that
allow for indexing to a particular car's needs.  I have bought a number of
DENSO-type starters from BRITISH STARTERS both for Healeys and my race cars
and have never had a problem with the performance of any of them, though
sometimes mounting required some imagination.

BTW this is what AI says:

A WOSP (WOSPerformance) starter *is* a Denso-based starter. WOSP takes
high-quality, reliable OE Denso gear-reduction (OSGR or PMGR) inner core
motors and builds custom-machined mounting noses, adapter plates, and
multi-position "clocking" capabilities to fit them directly into classic,
vintage, or specialty performance vehicles (like classic Porsche, Lotus, or
British sports cars).
