An older Boba Fett would have to sound like Jango Fett if their DNA is IDENTICAL. Twins don't have completely identical DNA, thus the changes. Clones do.

I understand what you are saying about the "plot holes". I think Lucas realizes that in order to create a better story arch and make the Prequels better, he has to change some things about the original.
However, because people are all individuals, and make their own choices, it would make sense for 2 people's voices, even if they are genetically identical, to be different.
Let's play a little game called "Me and My Clone".

I live a clean life, hardly ever sick and never did anything that could harm me.
But my clone caught pneumonia as a small child, then got hooked on cigarettes and spent his next 20 years smoking 2 packs a day.

Tell me, which will have the less gravely voice, me, or my clone??

Now, I'm no medical practicioner(sp?), but wouldn't the amount of time you spend talking also affect your voice?? (You yell a lot, you get hoarse.)
Well, what if Boba says 5 million more words over the course of his life than the average clone?? He should lose some edge to his voice for that reason.

Now, why did Lucas use the same voice for all the clones?? Well, duhhh. Most of the time, they had helmets and armor on, so we had no way to tell they were clones. Lucas needed some gimic to keep that fact in our minds.
Well, since we couldn't see, feel, smell or taste them, we would have had to hear them.

I hope I that made sense.
