I think really Greg it's something most Egyptologists just go along with for lack of a better model, Legon stated most weren't particularly happy about the identification, i know of a couple that talk in terms of Sokar being associated with the stars of Orion for seasonal timing of Khoiak reasons.


The identification actually pre-dates Egyptology as it's premise is from the Greeks, all the early Egyptologists did was to associate the Sah of the Pyramid texts with the soul of Osiris striding manfully forward before that other Greek identification of Isis-Sirius...as in Theosophy.
