does this torsen (helical type) lsd more closly resemble a clutch type or whatever the quaife type is called?

It's a gear type diff, it doesn't use clutch packs. A helical diff has a torque transfer ratio, eg. 5:1. This means it can transfer 5x the torque of the wheel with the least traction to the wheel with most traction. Unfortunately if one wheel is unladen it cannot transfer torque to the other wheel since 5 x 0 = 0...
The advantage of helical gear-type diff's is that they don't require servicing of the clutch packs like a clutch type LSD.
