הקבר הוא לא של ר’ אהרן קאגן, אלא של בנו ר’ יוסף חיים.

How confusing the Chofetz Chaim had both a son and a son-in-law with the same name.

Yes, but the Chofetz Chaim only officially took the last name “Kagan” at the end of his life. Reb Leib, his eldest son from his first marriage, took the last name “Poupko” (no relation to the Pittsburgh family) at some point, probably to get out of the draft.
