Changing rockers isn't going to change the pushrod length requirement by much, if at all. It's not like we are switching to a Ford rocker or something.

If the fulcrum/trunion is upside down, the lock won't go on the stud. The locks came with the rockers.

I checked the rocker adjustments twice, went rocker by rocker, and 2 people checked it after me. Only thing I can think of there is that maybe the lifters weren't pumped up or were/are collapsed. I don't think the pushrods are that bent to make that much of a difference, but I haven't seen the pushrods in person.

One thing I did notice is that in Paul's pic with the covers off, there are no witness marks on the rockers, so that pretty much removes the thought of the witness marks on the rockers being from a wrench. I never thought that anyway, because who wouldn't use the boxed end for the lock?

I'm thinking loosen the rockers, order pushrods, install when they come in, and if the adjustment/locks show a difference, pull the intake and valley to check the lifters.

My suggestion, but it's not my call.
