The usual requirement for Apple to install an OEM replacement is for a battery health diagnostic under 80% and once they do the test they'll know it’s not an OEM battery. Also, you’ve already installed an aftermarket battery, which Apple considers non user-serviceable.

I don’t see why they couldn’t since they still have the part, but I’ve never been able to get a definitive answer from any Apple employee about the availability of any part for a particular model without providing a serial number. However, I’m unsure if they’ll install one in your machine since it’s considered “vintage” under the five year parts support plan. A few weeks ago I was shown the part in the Apple parts inventory when I asked if I could still get one for mine. It was used up to the 13” mid-2012 MBP (my model), which was discontinued in late 2016. That OEM battery is still available from Apple.

What model MBP? The A1322 battery was used for a long time, including some models that are now considered 'vintage' by Apple. It seems to have suffered a little bit of permanent capacity loss, as it was reporting about 94% battery health after the first few cycles, and right now after less than 100 cycles (mostly on power adapter) I'm seeing 85%. I bought my MBP new in box, and looking at coconutBattery info, it looks like it the battery was likely made about 9 months before I got it. A new lithium rechargeable battery should at the most sit on a shelf for 6 months. I went to an Apple Store where an employee flat out told me that I shouldn't trust an OEM Apple battery for my 2007 MacBook any more since at best it's been sitting on a shelf for three years dying from neglect if nobody had recharged it. I don't think there's anything wrong with seeking aftermarket parts when there's no other choice. The batteries themselves also have manufacturing information on them, and a battery diagnostic that indicates some oddity such as a battery made well before the machine or that looks like it came out of another machine might result in them refusing to service it. I am completely sold on getting an Apple OEM battery, but the only way Apple or an AASP will install one (and they don't sell them loose) is if they find an OEM one there to begin with.

I've given up linking battery replacement instructions (they've been removed) but you can look it up and it's supposed to be the same A1322 battery for all the 13' Unibody models, including the polycarbonate ones. Batteries for MacBook Pro 13-inch (2009-2012) Non Retina
