Need help with ID: Joseph O. Miller

There is a thread on the Mississippi board where a lady is seeking to learn what unit her ancestor, Joseph Ozincour Miller served with. All she knows is from family stories that state he died in the fighting for Vicksburg. I thought I had him pegged as...

Joseph Miller
Died: July 18, 1863
Served in Co. F, Miles Louisiana Legion; died of wounds received June 27th, 1863.
Buried: Port Hudson Battlefield -Hwy. 61, 15 miles north of Baton Rouge, LA.

This would match this man from Booth's records...

Miller, J., __, Co. F, Miles Legion La. Federal Rolls of Prisoners of War, Paroled Port Hudson,
La., July 15, 1863.

However, I have since learned he had a twin brother named Pierre V. Miller whom I believe is listed in Booth's Records as...

Pierre V. Miller
1st Louisiana Heavy Artillery (Regulars) Company G.
Note: Had a twin brother named Joseph Ozincour Miller

Can anyone confirm if the Joseph Miller buried at Port Hudson is indeed Joseph Ozincour Miller? Also, can anyone eliminate the following name as a candidate?...

Miller, J., Pvt. Co. A, Miles Legion La. On List dated Provost Marshal General's Office, New
Orleans, La., June 15, 1863, of prisoners sent down from Port Hudson, La. Date of capture June
11, 186-. Remarks: Deserter.

The family would be very grateful for confirmation one way or another.
