From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
We are told that the Doctor thinks she's the same woman. It's literally the speculation of the Doctor that they are one. And yet none of them recognize him at first meeting.
Again, we separate Auton Rory from Rory Williams, despite the real Rory having the Auton's memories. So how is this any different?
