My starting point would be that it was made as a backstory for him and as such should part of his profile and not separate. Secondly him not remembering them could be danzo's or orochimaru's tampering of him or could be the fact he was really young and it was also heavily implied they were same character. The only point i see going in the other side's favor is the fact that gotta said tenzo was dead and i took that more figuratively rather than literally due the amount of emotion restructuring danzo often does to the root ninja and also he had no memory of his life prior to the experimentation meaning even if they were the same he have no memory of that and this why i take gotta's statement more figuratively rather than literally cause the tenzo he once knew is dead by all accounts. There is also the fact they look exactly the same
