We don't know how much input Nikon had.
It could be as little as a minor tweak of an existing design, or as much as an entirely new design based on a Sony process.
Pic related are 3 transmissions, 2 are made by Aisin for Ford but are called Aisin transmissions, 1 is made by Ford and is called a Ford transmission. Yet they are all almost identical, both physically and functionally, except for minor generational tweaks and adjustments.
Can you call the transmissions made by Aisin to Ford specs an Aisin transmissions and not Ford?
At the same time can you call a transmission made by Ford, that is nearly identical to an Aisin design a Ford transmission?
The answer is, if we don't know how much input each company had, and the transmission is made exclusively for Ford, to their specs, then it is a Ford transmission.
