So, you are stating Einstein has three models of ether? The Lorentz
one for SR, the non-Lorentz one for GR, and the one from his 'first
paper' (http://www.worldscibooks.com/etextbook/4454/4454_chap1.pdf)?

'Ether and the Theory of Relativity by Albert Einstein'
http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Extras/Einstein_ether.html

"the state of the [ether] is at every place determined by connections
with the matter and the state of the ether in neighbouring places, ...
disregarding the causes which condition its state."

The state of the aether as determined by its connections with the
matter and the state of the aether in neighboring places is the
aether's state of displacement.

The cause which conditions the aether's state is its displacement by
matter.
