It sounds like you're referring to the dust cover.
I've never handled either the Nova SFA Vicker's frame, nor the MARSOC frame (I'm not even sure what brand of kit you're referring to there), so I couldn't tell you how it compares.
Secondly, I've never seen that light before, so I can't offer any advice on it.
Since you're in Hong Kong, if there's anybody on this forum that would have easy access to see parts in person to try different things out, I'd say it's you. Drop in to a retail shop and say you have the light, want to fit it to a frame, but want to try it on the frame to see if it'd fit. Bring the light along as well. Even better, if it's the same retailer you bought the light from. If the retailer isn't concerned with you scratching their product and thinks they can make a sale, they may allow it to happen. But, knowing how some HK shopkeepers are, I'd say you may have to pressure them in to it.
Regarding the VFC kit, it's a replica of the early model. The Tokyo Marui version of the MEU is a LATE model. you've mixed them around. As for realism... I've never handled a real one (late OR early models), and I've never spent the time on researching that particular model, so unfortunately, I can't provide you confirmation of accuracy/realism in that regard. That research will be all on you, so do your own homework. But for what it's worth, VFC has always been one of the better companies in terms of making accurate replicas.
As for grip safeties, what is your definition of "mil-spec"? There are plenty of aftermarket steel grip safeties on the market by various companies..
My opinion: if I were in your shoes, I'd get the kit that you want, and then modify the light to fit whatever frame you decide on.

I have some concepts in my head on making a good product that's very effective and durable. Whether it's worth investing a couple thousand dollars in to a small lathe and mill is another thing, but it's something I've been considering. I could expand in to other parts as well as demand requires.
