Prop-pitch

I recently obtained a used prop-pitch motor. I believe it to be a
"small" prop-pitch based on the attached metal tag which states the
gear reduction to be 9576:1

I've partially disassembled it and my question is how to determine
if this prop-pitch has the dreaded "modification" that changes the
rotation speed at the expense of the units braking torque?? I'm
assuming this to be a change of some type to the gear mechanism.
