Peter - I've come across discrepancies between a man's entry in the CWGC, SDGW and his medal naming on several occasions. These records aren't infallible by any means. The naming on the MIC should match the naming details on the medals. If all the other details match it looks very much like the CWGC has made an error with the initial in Brannan's case.
