At this point in the game's timeline, it's hard to say really. If he were lying, I believe that you'd see Shagohod copies popping up EVERYWHERE. While Pupa in PW does resemble the Shagohod, the fact that Pupa was developed by the CIA (through Huey E.) makes sense due to the CIA's knowledge of the Shagohod and schematics that Ocelot most likely recovered and sent to them. Other nations would have no access to such schematics and plans. Since this was basically the only thing that Volgin's facility was responsible for (developing the Shagohod) and the only people that had a Metal Gear similar to the Shagohod's design was the US because they had an inside man (Ocelot), I believe Ocelot was telling the truth. He really had no way of benifitting from lying to the CIA. The only other thing he could've done was keep the information for himself, and he didn't have the resources to execute the plans.
