@Ipsifendus Yes. It has been suggested that particular change is to avoid confusion with the Efficient Baxter. And, of course, there are issues with the way that the fictional timeline runs against the real one - e.g. Ring for Jeeves seems to take place in postwar Britain. I prefer the attitude that Wodehouse eventually adopted (in response to his critics, who would hiss "Edwardian" despite its notable lack of a sibilant), that he was writing, in later years, historical​ fiction.
