When Apocrypha was a novel, Shirou's identity as Amakusa was only revealed near end of the second volume when Jeanne finally meets him a bit after he exorcises Dracula.
Until then nearly everything he did or talked was ambiguous enough for people to assume he was Shirou Emiya being rescued by a Kotomine since the Church offered to give him a background after he survived the 3rd HGW by touching the grail.
His hair wasn't always white, his skin wasn't always tanned, he had to use a lot of magic and he had memories of ''hell on earth'' with everything burning up. Everything matched. Then he went on to fight in battle with a katana that Shakespeare buffed.
The actuality of all that was that his arms NPs allowed him to keep his youth since the HGW, the reason his skin and hair changed color was from the sun exposure from digging up Semiramis' catalyst and the flashback actually referred to the Shimabara Rebellion.
The reader would only have a few clues that it didn't match Emiya like since the grail was stolen in the 3rd HGW, there would be no HGW for the 4th (even though minor wars happened with the system being revealed like Waver participated in one, this is only revealed later).
This is also why he sent Karna to kill Jeanne and actively fled whenever she was nearby. True Name Discernment would mean Jeanne would be able to learn he is a surviving Servant and therefore risk ganging everyone on him before he had a good advantage. That's why he held everyone in place and had to rush to Dracula in order to get to the grail.
