Tankertrashnav would be the man to ask.

I rather like both of Mog's suggestions and, having only had time for a brief look at some alphabetical editions of the Navy List for the last two years of WWII, and at the London Gazette, I haven't come across an A J Scott other than a Schoolmaster with no DSC listed, although that of course could have come later. Recalling that none of the awards would be named, and that we don't of course know for certain whether the Arthur James Scott referred to was definitely the recipient of the awards, or that perhaps they simply passed through his hands, only adds to the mystery.
TTN may indeed be able to help, although I'm not sure that he has been on for a while.
