I suspect that the Victoria person was better informed.
Nope, they actually are different prices, and a period return isn't available. The reason is presumably demand management, same way as a day return on the GX is valid any time if bought from Victoria to Gatwick but only after 0930 if bought from Gatwick to Victoria.
