I had a short look to an extracted x3550 UEFI firmware (tbe132l-2.52).
This seems to be a very different implementation,  probably due to the fact that
this is a server firmware but not a desktop/workstation firmware.

I do not know how much UEFI has influence on the communication with the TPM but
I assume we can not really compare x3550 with P320 :-(

Best regards
