I don't know--they hold pretty much the same titles & the names are very close. I would find it prculiar that two high-ranking generals with virtually identical names held identical ranks under kings from the same family. It's too unlikely.

Didn't Aye have a son? And didn't Horemheb marry Nefertiti's sister?
