My conclusion from this was that while I don't know whether or not the Exedy bearing is made to the "revised" specs, they are not coming from the same factory unless the country of origin was mislabeled on one of them. I put the OEM bearing in.

You got the OE replacement clutch kit, not the OEM clutch kit. Misleading, I know.
Exedy (Daiken) is the OE supplier, but their OEM parts =/= OE replacement parts.
