Both of them are torque biasing differentials, but I don't know enough about wavetracs to comment the mechanical differences, aside from the fact that Wavetracs were designed to work in zero, or near zero load situations, whereas truetracs were not designed with that in mind, which is why they can spin the inside tire like an open diff.
I'm not sure how easily it is to dig up the info via the search function on the forum, but I know there have been posts about wavetracs over the years from a number of individuals who broke either broke theirs, or were trying to figure out if they had broken one. In some instances, I know they tend to feel like an open diff when they go out. Nick Relampagos with the Speedtech sponsored 2nd gen Camaro was having issues putting power down, and once swapping to a truetrac, the issue went away!
