There's a Barnsby and Weaver in GUNS of NAVARONE... Why Same Names?


Was leafing through the FORCE 10 novel paperback, which by the way has the best cover, ever... It's not a movie tie in... Anyhow I was looking through and, having heard that Harrison Ford's character was added to the movie (a sort of JAWS and STAR WARS popularity hybrid with Shaw teamed with Ford) I wondered about why I kept reading the name Barnsby then finaly saw and studied while watching GUNS and there's both a Barnsby (Richard Harris) and Weaver, a brit actor in that and Carl Weathers here (added ROCKY to that ticket selling hybrid)...

Just wondering if there's a reason that there's a Barnsby and Weaver in both films that are completely different? Thanks,
