Denso's US HQ did own up to the Part Number but only after I sent a close up picture:
P/N 262100-3030

Hi-Lex is to Denso what Delphi is to Taigene (or Globe, or Bosch, or).

Hi-Lex makes power products for the OEM car manufacturers. They do not make their own motors. They buy them from a motor manufacturer. In this case on this product, Hi-Lex must be using a Denso motor on some window lift or sunroof or whatever product.

I don't recommend trying to get the motors from Hi-Lex any more than I recommend that teams contact Delphi. Teir One OEM suppliers are just not set up to supply onesies and twosies to FIRST teams.

I wish there was a better answer, but I think that your best bet is to buy them from IFI or to barter for them from other teams.
