Yeah, I think you're right but seems like EVERY company had a version of the American Torq-Thrust mag, including themselves! They had the Torq-Thrust D mag with a slightly curved spoke to accommodate then-new disc brakes.

There were Japanese knockoffs, Ansens, a whole bunch of companies and shops like Pep Boys had some of those companies making a version for them to sell. Mine have no identification at all, which I find odd.
