George Lucas gave backstories for the characters in ‘77 or ‘78 in which Ben Kenobi’s clone was named OB-1 (which is the character from the series. Also, Ben Kenobi was much older than OB-1 would have appeared in the movie.

I am going to look into The OB-1 clone also to see if there is true in it or not. in the OOT, Obi-Wan and Owen are brothers (ROTJ Novel), so I think if the cloning thing is true then it maybe Anakin/vader killed the Ben Kenobi clone and thought it was the real Obi-Wan Kenobi. Then, the real Obi-Wan Kenobi used the name Ben Kenobi. Why did Obi-Wan Kenobi used the name Ben is a big question and why did Obi-Wan Kenobi in hiding, keep his last name "Kenobi". Maybe Obi-Wan Kenobi was using his clone's name (Ben Kenobi) in hiding because Vader thought he killed the real Obi-Wan Kenobi. Maybe some of The clones in The OOT's Clone Wars story were Jedi Clones.
Think about from the ROTJ script:
LUKE
You told me Vader betrayed and murdered my
father.
BEN
You father was seduced by the dark side of
the Force. He ceased to be Anakin Skywalker
and became Darth Vader. When that happened,
the good man who was your father was
destroyed. So what I have told you was
true... from a certain point of view.

Maybe Vader did kill Anakin... from another certain point of view.
Maybe Vader killed Anakin's clone.
I think it fits the "Anakin fell into a nuclear reactor shaft, Afterwards, Anakin's body was deformed and dying" idea.
think about it:
a deformed and dying Anakin see the clone of himself which is the way he once was. How do you think a deformed and dying Anakin would react to this.


p.s.
A clue in the Obi-Wan and Owen are brothers thing is their first names.

Their last names "Kenobi" and "Lars" are not the same maybe cuase "Kenobi" is a jedi name or they are half brothers or Owen is using his mother's maiden name of "Lars" and  

Obi-Wan is using his father's last name of "Kenobi" or Obi-Wan is using his mother's maiden name of "Kenobi" and  Owen is using his father's last name of "Lars".
