1) Glatt no scabs at all
2) kosher, has some scabs,but these have been skillfully analyzed and tested to ascertain that they do not render the cow traif
3) Glatt Beis Yosef, means same as number 1, just restricted to less areas of the lungs that would be problematic according to ramo.
Thanks for the only response on point so far. It differs from what I thought in the OP.

I was discussing this topic on Shabbos with several people, including some in the Glatt Kosher meat business, and none seemed sure or in agreement as to the distinction between the three standards. Then, after Shabbos I posted the topic under the general category of Just Shmooze. I have since found the article below. When I return from my current MB vacation I will also ask my LOR.

Dayan Lichtenstein from London has a basic primer on this topic but even that primer says much of the details are beyond the scope....

OP was closer to accuracy though albeit also wrong.

Glatt means smooth- I.E the lung was checked and it is smooth.

Not Glatt- means it wasnt checked, so it could be trifa.

Beit yosef is a company that sfaradim trust.

For sure

It is a hechsher that follows a sfardy standard.

Try and open a business named beit yosef and you will receive a letter from the owner of that name:)

actually many religious sephardim don't use that hashgacha.
I went to a Yeshiva call Bais Yosef and I don't believe they ever received a letter from Badatz Bait Yosef....

Glatt is named after Glatt Mart.
And Kosher is a registered trademark of Kosher Delight.

Any other insights?

They actually filed a claim against Rabbi Caro's estate for infringement. Long story...
