Once everything was cleaned down and put back together the problem is solved!

Thank you all for your assistance and advise with this.
Hi Eric.
Nice to hear you did the investigation of the NS also, as i said in the post above 9/10 it's the OS seems you found the 10

As you also point out there is no need to cover the bearing or the back plate in grease as it attracts debris, always best to keep it clean a treat the back plate and paint it to help stop any further rust.
