Hunter or Jaeger?

For those that only played the fan-translated version of Metal Gear 2 and not the original raw game, Frank Hunter was the alias used by Gray Fox when he met Natasha in Calgary. Hunter of course, is the English translation of the German word Jaeger (which is Fox's actual surname). Which is why his sister in Metal Gear Solid is called Naomi Hunter.
I've seen the character descriptions for the Mobile Phone port of Metal Gear 2 and they used the name of "Frank Jaeger" on Natasha's profile (who is now called Gustava in the new version). At first, I though this was a retroactive change made in the new version (much like how they changed the characters' names), but then I saw a transcripts of the descriptions they used in the original MSX version and the name "Frank Jaeger" also appears on Natasha's original profile. I should've known, considering the Mobile Phone descriptions still mentions that Big Boss lost his eye during the 80s.
First of all, how can anyone be sloppy enough to make a mistake like this? If Natasha supposed to know Fox as Frank Hunter, then why is he listed as Jaeger in the manual? It makes the revelation in the end of the game even more obvious than it needs to be for those that paid attention to the manual. No wonder the translation team was left confused. I personally believe the whole Jaeger/Hunter nonsense is abit unneeded.
Does anyone knows if Fox still uses the Frank Hunter alias in the Mobile Phone remake?
