The Anakin shown in ROTJ is Hayden from Ep III. But he doesn't have that metal arm he had by the end of Ep II. So the above notion doesn't hold water. Lucas also needs for HC to have that metal hand in the closing shot.
Or, like everybody who understands good writing, HC just doesn't belong in the shot at all. Anakin was redeemed before he died. Sebastian Shaw portrayed Anakin Skywalker in ROTJ, both as a physically scarred human and as the spirit of how he would have looked without his physical scars.
