My personal thoughts is that Chico is the most likely candidate, and decoy octopus and chico could also be the same person.

Gray fox did his has nose and ears cut off for during his RENAMO time (RENAMO fought the civil war from 1975 to 1992 according to wikipedia's information) and was rescued by Big Boss at least once during that time. What makes this theory hard to prove / disprove is that on many occasions, these events are only mentioned as taking place in "the 70s", "the 80s" under this wikia's Gray Fox page. However if you refer to the Big Boss page, it specifically said Big Boss rescue him in the 80s. So whether we can keep Fox = Ishmael depends on which page do we trust -- besides, I think someone mentioned already, if Ishmael is Fox, then Fox should have just said it's him instead of making up another name when no one is near by. Also, even if gray fox and naomi do meet big boss around the 80s, it doesnt mean this has to be detailed on screen.
