Hepu pumps are a decent option to installing a factory Volvo pump. I've never seen any indicator on a factory pump as to who makes them, and I have probably installed a few hundred of them over the years, but the casting did change quite a bit when Ford took over and they started coming with the "Made in England" sticker as opposed to the "Made in Sweden" one. I would be very hard pressed to believe that Hepu ever supplied Volvo with water pumps. If you want a better pump then spend the money and buy a factory Volvo pump. While belt tension is important I have not found it to be overly critical in pump bearing longevity and would have to say that your premature bearing failure is not in line with the performance that I have seen from other Hepu pumps, but as I said, if you want a better pump buy the factory one.
