The machine work looks ?coarse? and the spool is considerably heavier than Strange or Mark Williams. In addition, the right axle has excessive slack between the axle spline and spool spline.
You're 100% correct, there is a reason Moser came in the market with cheap stuff.

The Moser splines are broached, not rolled, and it's done AFTER heat treat, so you end up with sloppy fitting, soft splines.
A big issue?
Not really, I know a guy that cuts and resplines his own axles with a cut-off wheel, if that is what you want, go for it.

Check out Tom at Tom's Differentials, quality US made parts at realistic prices, and he has his own spools and axles done, because the Moser stuff is in fact junk. If the spline engagement isn't correct, you shatter side gears in a posi unit real quick.
