One could argue the whole Grandfather thing but let's face it, he's only considered to be related to Chico because of that ridiculous joke theory of Chico being Quiet. You forgot to mention that the Commandante was implied to have died fairly recently at the time of Peace Walker, which makes him being The End even less likely than his chances already estimate since... well, as you pointed out, The End died in 1964 in a pretty explicit fashion (basically, blowing up, maybe dying in his sleep at best).
