My WSP80 irons have a pale grey band on the handle. It might have been a white band at some point but my irons are quite old now.

The connector on the WSD81 PSU is a fairly flimsy plastic type with 7 inner pin sockets. One pin socket is in the centre and six more pin sockets around it. However, if I look into the WSP80 iron lead connector it only has 6 pins that engage with the 7 way connector on the WSD81. The centre pin is not fitted on the WSP80 iron lead.
