Sounds to me like you got some normal parts and some upgraded parts.
Your post is confusing when you say
"The clutch pressure plate measures 9 5/16 across for most of the pressure plate. There are a few indentions where it is less. The clutch pressure plate looks like it measures 8 7/8" across. "
Regardless, it sounds like you have half of an upgraded kit and half of a regular kit.
