I think the top one is correct, Bruce. The bottom one has teeth that look too wide and too shallow. Certainly, the ring gear just fitted to one of my flywheels has teeth like the top one in the photo.
If you see this, Dave, can you post what the various stampings are on the incorrect ring gear? I have a 1951 'Shrung On' list ('Made of British Steel by British Labour' it says!) and I might be able to work out what it's really from.

Reading the web site, it lists copper graphite as the corrrect material for starter motor brushes. Looking at what our suppliers supply (and I received two sets only a few weeks ago), that appears to be exactly what we get and they look to be the same material used for starter motor brushes for multiple vehicles for as far back as I can remember. Not worried at all.

As the info above shows bad things can happen with the wrong material brushes.....sorry but yes there is a need to be worried.
