" not the same person... I would say that they deserved to be apart..."

For what it's worth, I agree. Here's the problem:

1/ Congo Bill Earth-One and Congo Bill Earth-Two look exactly alike. Bill's age is never mentioned, and neither is his last name. In fact, he didn't even have a last name until James Robinson started calling the New Earth version of him "Glenmorgan."

2/ There is very little in-universe evidence that they are the same guy, OR different guys (*). Congo Bill E-One and E-Two's backstories are so vague that for all practical purposes, he doesn't even have one, let alone two. This makes editors generally reluctant to build a second page for this venerable character, because almost all of the data on it would be identical to the first page.

(* really there's just the one mention of him being a WWI aviator)
