You are close, but the order is out of sequence.

Install the initramfs.kernel.bin to your ItusbridgeImage
Reboot
Flash the sysupgrade.tar, reboot
Then set your password and IP.  When the system is booted to the intiramfs image, nothing is saved over reboots, and the sysupgrade system can't backup anything while it's running from the ramdisk.

It'll be persistent then, however, you may want to wait for a day or so before you start customizing, as I've just recently got the sysupgrade system working (and they fixed the bug with luCi insisting we have MTD block devices and giving the error), so I'll put a new version out here when it's done building

The system is not remembering any settings each time I reboot says the
password is not set and ssh is unspecified, although I have changed saved
and applied.
Heres what I've done

Booted into router mode ( it's running ver 4.19)
ssh root@10.10.10.10 "mount /dev/mmcblk1p4 /overlay"
scp openwrt-octeon-itusbridge-initramfs-kernel.bin root@10.10.10.10:
/overlay/ItusbridgeImage
ssh root@10.10.10.10 "umount /overlay"
rebooted version 5.4.51, set password and ssh
mkfs.f2fs /dev/mmcblk1p4
Flashed Firmware (all seems to go ok the auto reboot) with
openwrt-octeon-itusbridge-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar

Now at version 5.4.51 but nothing is saved, done several times just in case
i've messed up but no saving.
