I’m not sure there are any Haworthiopsis with donut tubercles.

u/GoatLegRedux I will tag you because you will be interested in seeing photos.
Honestly some things we would only know “for certain” with genetic analysis.
But looking at this plant, u/mlduffee , it looks like a plain *Haworthiopsis attenuata*. There are various *H. attenuata* with very prominent tubercles, some forming bands, some covering most of the underside of the leaves. This is a little similar to a cultivar that circulates in Australia, *Haworthiopsis attenuata* ‘Stripes’.
I don’t have time to go look for my plants now, but I took pictures of a couple of pages from Schulz book **Haworthia for the Collector** (note all names in the old classification):

One should look at the overall shape of the leaves and of the plant, and well as check if there are any defining characteristics of *H. attenuata*. The very small sparse tubercles on the top of the leaves of your plant is a characteristic of *H. attenuata*. You can check the description for *H. attenuata* here, check the text describing the **Leaves**: https://haworthiaupdates.org/1999/02/12/haworthia-revisited-42-haworthia-attenuata/
The shape of the leaves and rosette in your plant doesn’t resemble a *Tulista*. Look at the two examples linked above.
