You are correct in saying that the VMRC and VLRC speeds are AEO speeds.

Logically there will be comparable speeds (which give best range and best trade off between fuel and speed), for the OEI case.

But after an engine failure you may have more important things to think about. If clearing obstacles becomes problematic with OEI you will need to fly at a speed which maximises (or at leats increases) your cruise altitude. You will also probably want to get to an airport and land as soon as reasonably possible.
