That's pure speculation, Solidus was indeed a perfect clone of Big Boss, but by no means did he aged so fast that he's well into his adulthood when he's only 12 years old, and let's not forget Ishmael said he watched over Big Boss for nine years, considering Solidus is born in 1972, that would mean he was watching BB since he was 3, that's just not possible, accelerated aging seriously does not work that way in the MGS lore. It was also never said that Solidus ever met Big Boss, it wouldn't make any sense for him to be Ishmael.
