But if he's meant to be a body double, why would he be different?

And nonsense about a bionic eye and that wearing an eyepatch over the same eye that Gray Fox loses IN THE FUTURE before he dies means he's Gray Fox. Who draws these sorts of conclusions? It's insanity. It's what happens when you draw a conclusion first and then look for evidence that confirms it later.

One thing I see in that ponytail, besides the function of keeping BB's hair out of his eyes after it grew out over 9 years, is that it looks pretty similar to the one The Boss had for most of MGS3. Plus, Snake is more-or-less confirmed to have brain damage from that shrapnel in his head, and IIRC The Boss had a bullet graze her brain in 1943 (and she was also killed by a bullet to the head). Makes more sense to me than him being Grax Fox or Grax Fox's dad or whatever random guy PythonSelkan reckon he is today, at least.
