Didn't we decide Janice Lester was just plain crazy, and shouldn't be paid any attention?
That just goes shows the the acting ability of Majel Barrett, even more so when she plays Lwaxana Troi on TNG! IMONumber One and Nurse Chapel aren't the same character, they were just played by the same actress.
Also, Number One was slated to be an admiral sitting beside Robert April commenting on a televised event in the "Lost Years Saga" novel, "A Flag Full of Stars" by Brad Ferguson, but it was during a time of tight control and she had to be renamed Timothea Rogers, with no reveal that she was a promoted Number One.
And she makes a great plameek soup.At the very least she is qualified in biology, paleobiology, and atrobiology because of hre background with Roger Korby - the Louis Pasteur of arhaeological medicine.

She was a little off her rocker, but no where in that episode does Kirk debate her 'star fleet is sexist' remarks.
Having read the writer's draft of AFFOS, I'm eternally GLAD Rogers wasn't Number One.
Number One and Nurse Chapel aren't the same character, they were just played by the same actress.
There was a novel (can't remember which) which had "Number One" identified as Chapel's older sister, hence the resemblence. Not a bad bit of retro-conning.
So Number One's real name was something like Denise Chapel?

She was a little off her rocker, but no where in that episode does Kirk debate her 'star fleet is sexist' remarks. And I think, in the 60s, thats the message they wanted to convey. That the military, or society, was sexist in these matters.

I prefer the Morgan Primus angle, myself.
And no doubt married to Flint, twice.I prefer the Morgan Primus angle, myself.
The thing is, the immortal Morgan Primus angle means that she can be Morgan le Fay (of Arthurian legend - "Excalibur!"), Chapel's big sister (Number One - "primus = one"), Timothea Rogers, Mrs Lefler, and many others, all in the same lifetime.

She has claimed to have worked with Spock while under Pike. She never actually said she was Number One, but looks like her. And Primus = One.Has she actually claimed to be all of those people? Primus *did* say she was Number One, I think, but I don't remember her claiming to be anyone else you mentioned.
According to PAD, MP is simply the character that would have been played by Majel Barrett, had NF been a TV series. Since her immortal body has been destroyed, Morgan really is the voice of Excelsior's computer.I was just suggesting that Number One is Morgan Primus, no other.
