What fuel pump is correct?

I have seen a glass-bowl fuel sediment filter placed just off the carburetor on the 2200 series 356 engines before. Was this a dealer 'accessory'?

The fuel pump on my 48 2255 looks to have been replaced.

First picture is of the fuel pump that's in pieces in a tub in the car that came with it. Looking it over, this looks to be an original Packard fuel pump, maybe the one that was on the car and removed. Would people agree?

These pictures shows the fuel pump currently installed on the car. It has a glass-bowl fuel sediment filter on the bottom, which makes no sense to me, as with the baffling, no one would be able to see the fuel filter well in the position it's in. Is this a Packard pump or an aftermarket one?
