The Plot Thickens
So...
Autozone told me their part number B1161MP is the same as Spectra Premium SP1161MP.
That was potentially inaccurate.
I called Spectra and was informed:
1. SP1161MP is no longer sold by Spectra in the US
2. They sold their pump division in 2020 to a company I understood as "Trico" who may or may not be adhering to the same design and quality standards
3. They know of no source for that part number other than old stock, perhaps through Amazon or a Canadian auto parts retailer
Net: I don't trust Autozone and will now call Carter and Delphi before purchasing a pump. I do see Delphi has their brand name cast into the body, at least in the "representative images" online.
What a mess....
Who you gonna call? Ghost Busters!!
