The transhipment onto HMS Seraph was via Scotland anyway, but the ID docs would have needed to reflect the 'new' man. No doubt it could be done, and given the national security implications involved, if it was done then the only evidence of it left would be in their respective graves. Hopefully they will remain there, undisturbed. Some stories are better left with a perpetual question mark hanging over them....
How interesting! As a friend of mine is wont to say, every day's a schoolday...

However, as you say, whatever the truth they both deserve to remain undisturbed, at peace.
