May 20, 2020 at 8:50 comment added YCor Actually, if $X$ is a cancelative magma, and $u,v$ are permutations of $X$, the new magma with law $(x,y)\mapsto u(x)v(y)$ is cancelative as well, defining an E-structure. If $X$ is commutative and $u$ is a single permutation, then $(x,y)\mapsto u(x)u(y)$ defines a W-structure. Even if $X$ is associative, it's not associative in general. So the most obvious examples of W-structures are those for which there is a commutative semigroup $X$ and a permutation $u$ of $X$ such that the law is given by $(x,y)\mapsto u(x)u(y)$. This covers all the given examples.
May 20, 2020 at 8:42 comment added YCor @WlodAA It's even simpler. In both examples you mention (abelian, bimodules+ pair of invertible), the left and right multiplications are bijective (which is automatic for finite E-structures). So any indecomposable W-structure that for which it's not true yields an example. So even the monoid $\mathbf{N}$ works itself.
May 20, 2020 at 8:28 comment added Wlod AA @YCor, you could write this in an explicit and complete way right here (? I'd welcome it).
May 20, 2020 at 6:47 comment added YCor Actually an answer to this question was suggested in my previous answer: take a cancelative magma with the quasimedial property, in which the right multiplications are not all surjective, and modify arbitrary $\lambda$ outside the image of $(x,y)\mapsto (xy,y)$ (and similarly $\mu$ outside the image of $(x,y)\mapsto (x,xy)$). The answer here just plays this game in the case of the additive law on $\mathbf{N}$.
