Yeah I'd say that Venom, while a loyal servant to Big Boss, has huge gaps in his personality that actually serve to make them different in their views, especially towards certain individuals.

Venom sympathize over Paz, probably even loved her being an MSF soldier himself. The fact that Paz's diaries are fabricated recollections based on what is implied to be MSF's general impression of Paz serves to show how differently they viewed her compared to Big Boss. Big Boss was willing to kill Paz if she spilled intel on Mother Base, whereas Venom actually suffered a hallucinatory phantom pain because of her death. That's pretty big difference between the two. Based on how Big Boss actually fought Paz, if the "memory transfer" was truly perfect, then Venom wouldn't have had the attachment he did towards her.

Big Boss didn't care about Paz, Venom did, so it's not far-fetched to say that he'd have different views even if he's a loyal soldier to Big Boss.
