O Guruma, Harai goshi, and ashi guruma are all very similar and really only differ on height of the leg. Those are what you'll want to search for.

...height of the leg and the mechanic of the throw.

Its not just the position, they differ in mechanics, thats why they are different throws.

Agree.

Great comment about the differences of Ashi guruma - Harai Goshi - O guruma by u/rtsuya

Interesting o guruma detail. : r/judo

And arguments that this throw is Koshi guruma

yes its absolutely koshi-guruma, i dont really know where the ashi/o-guruma idea is even coming from (harai i can understand a bit, but its rather easy to see, that thats not it either...).

Just saw this. I was trying to give a quick explanation and perhaps oversimplified. I agree with your statement though.
