I don't really care what the labels are, so long as the labels we choose accomplish the following: - we can clearly refer to the desired person in terms of where they are physically or temporally, pre or post duplication If you need the labels to suggest that the duplicated persons are continuations of the original, I have no problem with that. The labels we choose don't impact that (beyond potential for clarity/confusion) since what's important is not how we refer to them, but what the consequences are of the experience of being duplicated. No different from Superposed Experimenter, Superposed-To-Dead-Cat Experimenter, and Superposed-To-Live-Cat Experimenter.
