I never realized just how many junk replacement parts for starters and alternators are out there. Until I started buying some of them.
I highly suspect that the chains sell only reconditioned starters and alternators using them. Other than the bosh rebuilts.

He's not one of the huge distributors - has nearly 2000 sales. He's now listed at 100% favorability. Not sure I get that, it was about 99.8 when I bought it. Pretty good either way. Here is his email:

Hi, sorry about the problem with the terminal size. I buy these right from the factory that makes them for Bosch as overruns. Bosch must have switched it to a larger terminal along the way. (I wish I knew I would have included a connector to match) Bigger terminal, better connection. I would suggest just switching the end on your wire to match. As far as 15a and 50a being amps, it is not the deal, it is just wire terminal designation and is no big deal, the main battery wire runs straight to the main stud of the starter. If you think of it, using 50a (probably twice the amps of any fuse in the fuse box) to kick in the solenoid would be crazy, seriously number on it is not an issue. If you feel more comfortable returning it, it's kool.

I forget how big the fitting on the small post is. Maybe I could ream it out. I think I'll buy a larger fitting to have on hand, take the original out and compare the two carefully. Would be easier and quicker than sending it back. Plus I lose about $12 in the refund.
