I'm a little puzzled about why so many different people have made comments regarding the GD system after seeing the pix. I'm a little higher than I'd like to be, and farther away from the catcher than I thought I was. But not to the extent of the GD system. And my stance certainly isn't wide enough to conform to GD.

People are commenting on the GD stance because of the height of your stance, the distance from the catcher and your hand position. None of these are what Jim taught when I went to Arizona.
If you are trying to recreate your DC plate stance, get your cage viedo out. I'm sure you'll see your legs were spread wider, the slot foot was ahead of the back foot, you were lower through both a wider stance and more "sitting" (not with any more lean), you were a bit closer to the catcher and you did not have your slot hand on your knee.
