No - the last argument to try_files is different to the other arguments.

If this last argument is used, you get an internal redirect to the url
/grant/index.php?$args, and the appropriate location{} to handle that
request is chosen from scratch.

Which shows exactly what you see, which is not what you want.

Does "try_files $uri $uri/ @fallback;" do what you want?

(Rename @fallback to @grant or @grantindex if you like.)
