Modern Site Page People Web Part

I had planned to use the People web part (see attached) on the modern page to list a contact person.  Then I discovered it only provides  a name, title, and the circle (with initials or picture).   ...

    CatherineB and JanetS,

     

    The "live people card" behavior (where you can hover over an individual and see more information about them) isn't yet rolled out to the government cloud you are both a member of, which is why you don't see that behavior in the people web part. Once that underlying capability is rolled out, it will become available in SharePoint. The team handling that feature roll-out hasn't committed to a roll-out time frame yet. We'll let you know when we know a time frame for it. fyi Steve Zhang

we had a fix. And we are carefully rolling it out now. It takes time to go through whole process

One of our users noticed a funky behavior with the people part.  One the initials for the icon are last name, middle name (so for John L Smith it would be SL) but when you hover over it, the initials go to first name, last name (so JS for John L Smith).  It seems weird this is inconsistent between the two.  Is it possible to control/edit this behavior?)
