Default Exedy Clutch Organic Race Question: Who makes them?

I just received my Exedy organic race clutch for my 98 Honda Prelude today and I just went though inspecting the unit. Though I had thought Daikin/Exedy products were all made in Japan? I'm just trying to make sure that I got the correct clutch. This is what came.

Box & items (not shown throwout bearing and alignment tool):



Picture of the clutch model and assembly location:



Closeup on the friction plate:



It reads Made In USA, HD504-D, T/M side, (DK symbol), 4C31


Closeup on the pressure plate:


I just wanted to verify that I got the correct item as when I searched posts said that everything that came should be made in Japan and not the USA. I mean everything looks of good quality, though suprisingly enough NOTHING inside the box came bagged, and everything was loose. Unlike my CM clutch that I had purchased a while ago as everything in that was wrapped up tight in layers upon layers of plastic wrap. If someone could verify the location producing these clutches or verification that it is an Exedy organic racing clutch I'd appreciate it.

taken from the daiken-clutch.com website http://www.daikin-clutch.com/index.shtml

"EXEDY, a Japan-base corporation, has manufactured Daikin brand clutch assemblies along with other drive train components for over 75 years. Daikin products have been present in the North America since 1968, and Daikin Clutch products have been manufactured in the United States since 1988 to serve both Original Equipment and aftermarket customers in North, Central, and South America."

Hrm... well it makes me feel better that they have been producing inside the USA for a long period of time.

I thought that was the lazy way of saying "Made In"

and it;s normal for them to come loose
Our supplier fills the boxes with newspaper to help keep the parts from moving. But i still get pressure plates poping out of the side of boxes
