Well for one, the original sources' statements were vague so we assumed the events mentioned were more immediate (Irina is informed of Platonic's failure, kills Joseph and has Carlos impersonate him to infiltrate the mansion). the new info clarifies that Platonic was the one who told Irina about her failure, not Joseph, states outright that Joseph is just a famous chef, was hired to the Conchitas after Carlos impersonated him.

At least that's what I am getting out of the above. I am also starting to think the Venom Sword doesn't necessarily steal faces but just allows you to change yours, so Carlos just needed to change his face so Banica wouldn't recognize him, not necessarily pretend he was this famous chef that everyone in the Conchita manor was unlikely to have ever met.

Just my thoughts on this.
