gear reduction starter cross reference

I want to buy a gear reduction starter for my BJ8, and hoping to find it at my local auto parts store rather than have to import one into Canada
Anyone know the Nippon Denso part number or car that this came from?

My parts book does not give a Lucas number fro the starter
Internet mining gives me a Lucas 25578 for all the big Healeys

Failing that, I see a good price on Ebay:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-STARTE...her_Vehicle_Parts&hash=item5d334956cb&vxp=mtr
A concern is that It will not fit as the 25578 number is not listed, but it claims to fit the BJ8. Once imported it is an expensive return trip back to the USA, and a PITA
Note the lack of clocking holes compared to the Brit car suppliers

noted about the 100-6 but the dates also include the 3000's
It is the Lucas cross reference I do not get, as I see that the Lucas 25578 is for all big Healeys so something is not right

"gear reduction" above my understanding etc. However, for my Caterham7 a fellow named Dave Austin of British Starters, info@classicperformance.com, custom made (sent him mounting dimensions etc.) "high torque gear reduction" Japanese based starter for my car, $189.00. Local guru said Lucas was junk and not even bother getting another one nor have it rebuilt (screw holding front to case unscrewed itself, parts scattered in bell housing, jammed magnet in end of rubber tube and fished it all out,). Can say I have never heard car turn over as fast as with new starter, expect he has Healey already worked out. U.S. free shipping 28.00 priority to Canada, 518-290-0390.
