I’m sticking with my initial assessment!
ArmsControlWonk also disagree, and pointing some flaws too in the initial theory of the HS 18 being deriviative of Russian missiles.
One interesting thing is the differences in methods of alignment. Russian missile use high precision gyrocompass mounted in the launcher, a feature which does not visible in North Korean launcher.

In the recent Azerbaijan-Armenia conflict, the Azeris used the old AN-2s as Kamikaze drones, it seems that the idea has also been adopted by the North Koreans, but using the obsolete combat aircraft such as the Mig-15/F-2, Mig -17/F-5, Mig-19/F-6 certainly an option to give a second chance to these obsolete aircraft.
"The North is trying to transform Soviet fighter aircraft into kamikaze drones armed with precision-guided munitions," Choe Su-ryong, a former agent of the National Intelligence Service (NIS), told The Korea Times on Monday, citing an informant based in North Korea.

Kim Jong Un inspects the Pukjung Machine Complex
September 3, 2023
Kim Jong Un shows himself in front of 2 types of engine, one diesel and one gas turbine.
they write:
Noting that the complex plays an important role that no one else can replace in developing the country's shipbuilding industry and strengthening the DPRK's naval forces, Kim Jong Un proposed a revolutionary policy to usher in a new era of shipbuilding industry naval. the complex...
Therefore, one would think that those two engines are intended for naval units for the North Korean navy, but the more important question is whether they are made directly in the Pukjung Machine Complex or somehow imported.
I ask the experts if from these partial photos it is possible to identify the model of the engines and possibly their origin if they are not produced in North Korea.

The indications are that it is a very modified old Romeo class.
It could be just a modified Romeo sub with nuclear missiles on board. From NK's perspective, it just needs a sub that can stay on water long enough to conduct a nuclear strike.
