Could those "odd" bendix covers have been from aftermarket makers? Definitely not aftermarket. The 3 piece cover was only used from late December of 1918 until mid-April of 1919.

When they are saying Grose Jet, they are referring to the float valve, not the needle seat that you are showing in the photo. Grose Jet is a particular style. Slide out the pin holding the float in place to reveal the float valve to see which style it is.
