Are these switches correct  using version 2

ROUTER:
dev/mmcblk1p2

BRIDGE:
/dev/mmcblk1p4

Gateway:
/dev/mmcblk1p3

Correct.

Should I be using
mount /dev/mmcblk1p?   /overlay
or
mount /dev/mmcblk1p?   /mnt

mount /dev/mmcblk1p? /mnt

This is because under the new filesystem, /overlay actually is used (unlike before)

Do I need to  mkfs.f2fs /dev/mmcblk1p? after each time I copy over a new
initramfs-kernel.bin file or is it a one time format?

No.  I'm not entirely sure it's even needed, but if you do, it would only need to be one once..

When doing a system upgrade via flash firmware I get the below message,
even when Ive downloaded both initramfs and system upgrade files from the
web site at the same.

OpenWrt had issues with the way I had the naming convention (of all things) for the device.  When that changes, the sysupgrade system changes and the previous versions can't read the file (or rather, the directory names change and make it unable to FIND it).

Download the Gateway Initramfs file:
https://github.com/Itus-Shield/opkgs/raw/kernel-5.4/targets/octeon/generic/openwrt-octeon-itus_shield-gateway-initramfs-kernel.bin

Install it to your ItusgatewayImage:
mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 /mnt
cp openwrt-octeon-itus_shield-gateway-initramfs-kernel.bin /mnt/ItusgatewayImage
umount /mnt

Because you aren't sure about it, setup the filesystem:
mkfs.f2fs /dev/mmcblk1p3

reboot

Download the Gateway sysupgrade:
https://github.com/Itus-Shield/opkgs/raw/kernel-5.4/targets/octeon/generic/openwrt-octeon-itus_shield-gateway-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar

Flash the sysupgrade via luCi or CLI:
When running from the Initramfs image, nothing can be saved.  You can leave the "Save Configuration" checked, it won't matter.
It'll reboot and then come back up.

Your mount should look something like this:

root@Shield:/# mount
/dev/root on /rom type squashfs (ro,relatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime)
cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,cpuset,cpu,cpuacct,blkio,memory,devices,freezer,net_cls,net_prio,pids)
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime)
/dev/loop0 on /overlay type f2fs (rw,lazytime,noatime,background_gc=on,discard,no_heap,user_xattr,inline_xattr,inline_data,inline_dentry,flush_merge,extent_cache,mode=adaptive,active)
overlayfs:/overlay on / type overlay (rw,noatime,lowerdir=/,upperdir=/overlay/upper,workdir=/overlay/work)
tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=512k,mode=755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,mode=600,ptmxmode=000)
debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,noatime)

Notice that overlayfs:/overlay is set..

You can then set your device password and set the SSH key.
