My gut feeling, therefore, is that OSM should use the hyphenated version in the name tag, with the unhyphenated version as an alt_name, and possibly with a note explaining the potential ambiguity.

I think I would have gone the other way round given the unhyphenated
street sign appears to be newer than the hyphenated one suggesting that
is the current preferred form.

That said the 1886, 1968 and 1973 OS sheets use the unhyphenated form:

While current OS data seems to be hyphenated as you say!
