SO, is it a fitment problem with the pieces and parts?

Is it a grease issue? ie too much or wrong stuff???

Still looking for an original used bearing to cut up!

I wouldn't say the bearings have no seal. They are shielded, not sealed, which allows for a certain amount of protection. In my recollection, any car I have changed the clutch had a similar design. Might be a design necessity with a thrust bearing as opposed to a traditional roller bearing. Consider its duty cycle is pretty light, not like a wheel bearing that is constantly under load.

If there is grease migration outside the shield, then the bearing was over greased to begin with. Shedding some of that excess grease will actually help the life.

I had an original Aetna bearing, and it looked to be the same design as the replacement SKF.
