This version is closest to Higaonna Sensei version. There are many different version of this kata by many other Sensei's. Such as Matsumura Sensei has his version etc etc.
you're right. this seisan comes from the naha-te line, as Mabuni was a student of Higashionna sensei and good friends with Miyagi sensei. however the Uechi ryu version is quite different than this. and this kata was originally named seisan too, but it was a shuri-te version rather than naha-te. Hohan Soken said some did this because they saw similar movements to a kata they practice but didn't have a name for it, so they stole the name in some cases which is why there are many versions possibly.
Really well done! So clean

that's because they practice the more shuri-te based version, and shito ryu practices the naha-te version. they're as you said, completely different.
