I think the chap who went to Oz looks a good bet, seeing as his last address in the UK was Sussex and had the same occupation.
I know you said his wife remarried in 1948, and this chap was still alive up to at least 1954, maybe she had him declared dead so she could remarry, which I believe you can do when someone is gone or missing after seven years.
