They used Eve and Margarita and Sleep Princess interchangeably in those books because, again, the fact that she's Eve had already been spoiled in that series.

The reason why she acted like Margarita is because SCAP was for the Seven Deadly Sins series. I think the difference in perspective here is that you think there's an in-story reason why she's not being called Eve, and why she's acting the way she is, when I personally think it's just because of what the story is. The story calls for Allen to meet with each of the sinners. Eve is not one of them--Margarita is. Hence she has to act like Margarita and be called by Margarita's code name. The exact same thing happened with Venomania--He's Cherubim, and he also remembered who he really was at the end of the novel. Yet in SCAP, he's still calling himself Sateriasis and acting like he is, as well as hanging out with some of his core kidnapped women. Only a bare bones excuse of him clinging to that identity is used to justify this. Eve's behavior is likewise flimsily excused as her being completely crazy.

I think mothy was just making a Seven Deadly Sins song series book. He needed all of them as they were in the songs so he made them act that way even if it didn't quite fit in with how they were characterized in the end of the novels.

And, to be fair, we really don't know anything about Ma right after Eve was absorbed. We know her in the Theater arc, but her behavior there has little indication that she has Eve in her. For all we know, she IS a completely different being by then, we just aren't familiar with the first one enough to make that call.

It's not impossible but I find it very unlikely that it wasn't really Eve, and I'm not sure why, if it wasn't, the story wouldn't make that clear, especially as her being part of Ma was a pretty big reveal all on its own. It's a triple reveal and it's not a very good one at that. "Eve is in Ma, oh no wait she isn't! oh wait she actually is". I don't see the necessity in tricking the reader into thinking Eve has separated if she hasn't.
