I assume the other two plain shafts are used if the spline doesn't fit your plate. It is then picked up as an assembly (Cover and Plate), bolted to the flywheel and the tool removed by disengaging the cone and spline . Personally I have my reservations as one, if my assumptions are right, is centring the plate to the cover , not the flywheel , which adds a little more error to the assembly.

Yes that's how it works, however by aligning the driven plate to the machined edge of the pressure plate, the clutch will be perfectly aligned
It works just as you describe though
MGR must have thought it a good idea, as this picture is the factory tool at work
