Ocelot comes to mind as the only one with the appropriate connections to find out who he is, so I wonder if Ocelot would be a radio contact? It does not have to be done completely by one of the "codec character" - in fact, they better don't do that! Look at how The Boss', Ocelot's, Liquid's and even Sniper Wolf's stories are delivered, they themselves played a big part (espcially Liquid).

Acutally, what made me think the MGS1 bosses are more impressive is that they take a more active role in the main story itself and have a lot more lines than most other bosses who were there mainly just for the fight. Having someone telling you the background of a fighting-alone-boss by a call during or after the fight doesn't help build the character much. I personally think a character's active role is what makes the character more "lively".
