I'll go check out the Kidd letter. My understanding is that these LOI's trump POI because, as you noted, there is a lack of consistency from FSDO to FSDO, or ASI to ASI for that matter.
In another discussion on this topic, two different companies had a GOM requirement for 2 pilots. However, in that case one company's GOM was "Accepted" and the other's was "Approved." The consensus from that was the one with the "Approved" stamp was good to go (logging SIC) and the requirements of the client or insurance were not pertinent.
