Of course the prisoner wasn't John Drake.  He was number Six.  Remember?
He didn't *have* a name.  Even if the character was supposed to be
the Secret Agent, even the Secret Agent didn't have a name, right?
John Drake was just a cover.  I think this explains the descrepency
fairly well.  McGohan (how embarassing not to know how to spell his
name!) was answering the question asked: "Was the prisoner John Drake?"
The other dude was answering the question intended: "Was the prisoner
the same person as the Secret Agent?"  At least, that's my guess.
